Salad Dressing with 'Just a Hint' of Plastic

Who thought this was good design?? So I get this 'eco-friendly' salad dressing bottle, claiming to be all about healthy lives and the environment. Cool, right? NOPE! Turns out, to get any dressing out, you have to squeeze harder than when you’re doing the last rep at the gym. And when it finally gives, you better duck for cover 'cause it explodes like a darn volcano. Dressing on the ceiling, anyone? Oh and guess what’s inside? A plastic reducer that's tighter than my yoga pants. So much for saving the environment!

This is a clear case of form over function. The designers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could make it 'eco-friendly' that they didn’t stop to think if they should. The functionality is a key aspect of design, and it sounds like it was completely overlooked here.

I'm so tired of this! Companies pretend they care about the environment but then pull stuff like this. Someone should sue for the misleading eco-friendly BS they're promoting. What's next? 'Biodegradable' plastic bags that last a millennium?!

Had the same issue with a ketchup bottle once. Tried to smack the bottom of it and ended up with a red ceiling. These companies need a better design team or just stick to classic packaging.

When you said 'Just a Hint' I thought we were talking about flavor... not a hidden game of 'find the plastic.' 😂 Probably needed a hydraulic press to squeeze out just one drop?

Makes you wonder how many 'eco-friendly' products are actually causing more harm than good. Try reaching out to them on social media or email. Some companies actually respond to that kind of feedback, especially if you post it publicly. Got to hold them accountable for this trashy design. Literally.

Smells like false advertising to me. They hook you with the eco-friendly tag but it’s just a marketing gimmick. You’re better off making your own dressing—healthier and no hidden plastic surprises. Plenty of simple recipes out there that don't involve playing Russian Roulette with your kitchen walls.

This is seriously disappointing. The whole eco-friendly vibe they’re selling just flies out the window with that plastic piece. They should realize that this type of design defeats the purpose if we can't even recycle the darn thing properly. Feels like they're greenwashing us. Anyone else think we should start a thread of these ‘eco-friendly’ fails to bring some awareness?
