most packaged foods rely on their shelf presence and don't have a website (who wants to visit a packaged food website?) but have you seen any well designed food sites that are built for social presence?

visit: http://lovelypackage.com and double click the designers' web links to their portfolios, lots of examples there.

Ace! Thank you albums, utopian.

Just as an aside/bump - I'm of the demographic that actually DOES look at consumer food (er.. is there any other kind?) websites - not for the social aspect, but I'm often interested in seeing business ownership and general culture or other product ranges.
I am an *incredibly* sad little man though.
Just this last week - a site for a can of drink (couldn't work out why there was no Company name on the can - turns out owner is a brewery company, so presumably the health message abutted the boozing one) as well as a company who sell a range of pots of lentil salads,taboulehs, falafels etc (to find out the company's history - they've jumped leaps and bounds since I first moved to London).
&c.

Hi Nairn! I can relate. Being in the business behind the business you do become fascinated with the personalities creating the items on display in the merchant faire. Especially someone like yourself who has a mind for writing and further reasoning beyond a color palette or type design. My husband is always baffled that something like a toothpaste brand could expect to have *followers* and rustle up interest in visiting their universal resource locator. And looking at the social sites that utopian linked did open my mind and eyes up to this advertiser's world and felt a little like gorging on a bag of the brightest colored junk food. i kept thinking, what ELSE could i be doing with my time. But learning about local, more progressive or unusual items or business decisions is definitely one of those geek interests that i feel awkward acknowledging that i'm are aware of when speaking to everyday people. like a guilty pleasure. it seems i've been cursed because most of what i'm interested in is rarely seen as acceptable for group conversation.
