Girls Just Don't Understand

Link

Mrs. At Home showed me a post one of her friends made. The blogger doesn't understand unboxing, so she thought she'd try it herself. By the end of the post, she still didn't understand it. Maybe if she did the unboxing proper, she'd "get it". Here many of the things she did wrong:

  • No close-up of the UPC symbol
  • No close up of the "Product sold by weight, not by volume" warning
  • No pictures of the inner plastic bag while still inside the box.
  • No close-ups of the product inside the packaging (only through the clear plastic)
  • You're supposed to remove each item individually, and photograph each piece
  • No photographs of all components spread neatly on the living room floor
  • No description of where she got the product from - an unboxing is only valuable if the item is still hard to get. Okay - she says "at the grocery store yesterday". C'mon! We want details?! What's the address? How long did you have to wait in line for them?
  • A "box" has six sides. There are only six total photographs here, two of which don't include the box - this is a very incomplete unboxing
  • There seem to be two types of products in here - we should have close-ups of every angle of each type of product (in addition to the close-up of each item coming out of the packaging)
But Kudos to BooMama for trying it out. No better way to understand the beauty of a thing than to experience it first hand.
