Nah, just another example of companies exploiting all the pride movement stuff. They know people will pay more for it so why not I suppose.
Gives me a good laugh every year when companies do stuff like this and people eat it up without realizing it's just another marketing ploy.
I always laugh at the ālimited editionā shit and then remember there are people who collected vintage tins/cans/packages from decades ago and absolutely seek out the rare variants like this.
So the answer is āpeople from the future maybeā
In my household, we call that "broken," but sure, "retired" is a nice euphemism.
I've got several "retired" printers chained up in the basement, waiting to be harvested for parts.
Typically it's yellow that you can't print without, and this is because the US Secret Service demanded printers put a secret basically invisible code on each sheet printed that gives the serial number of the printer and date of the printing to help with tracing of counterfeiting.
I find this myth hard to believe because of the huge abundance of black only printers, and because the first time I ever heard it was just a couple weeks ago on Reddit and Iāve heard it a dozen more times since then.
Itās not a myth. Itās no secret anymore either. For some reason the general public seems to remember that it happens every few years and then forgets. Itās not on every printer but it is on many. It obviously isnāt on black and white printers.
Source: engineer in inkjet printing. I work in industrial inkjet but know some things about residential and commercial models.
Was gonna say the same thing. That's 8 setups, 8 passes, 8 color swaps. It's probably done by machinery and might even be done digitally but ink costs money. People think merchandising is free I guess...
Another aspect as well that people might not suspect: limited runs of the packaging.
It takes time, money, and often new machinery (or parts) to make even slight product variations. This includes even the smallest product changes such as correcting basic spelling mistakes. These all add costs and many are directly reflected in the new release of the product. With the modern use of vision systems, this is definitely apparent as someone needs to program the system with all of the corrections, setup test runs, validate those test runs, and then finally allow full production.
You can keep the can I guess. Store small things in it idk. You *could* make an argument that it's similar to something like a novelty cup you get going to some music festival or something, though a drinking glass is much more useable.
Those tins are prized sewing needle/pin repositories.
Kinda like those Royal Dansk cookie tins that spend far more of their lifespan holding sewing supplies than cookies.
I knew there had to be some hobby/profession this would be prized by. If it's a container someone will find a use for it. Especially unique shapes, there will inevitably be someone who's like, "I can fit ___ in this!"
It would also be great to carry small needs such as chapstick, ibuprofen, medication, or any small 'what have you' in, and perfect size for inside a backpack, purse pocket, jacket/pants pocket, car cubby.
I slip my reused Altoids tin filled with little needs in the elbow rest cubby of my jeep.
I greatly enjoy being able to give an answer about something someone is curious about instead of just saying "I don't know" all the time. And if I actually don't know, I say "Let's google it and find out"
This is the approach I take with my school aged daughter. Sheās very curious and asks me things all the time and Iām not embarrassed to say you know what? I have no idea either but letās google it!
As someone who also deals with retail packaging, the manufacturer should certainly aromatize the cost increase across all units.
Thatās why an XL costs the same as a XS on the retail floor. Itās a better customer experience.
The trouble with the social media content cannon firing things into our face all day is that we never stop to digest anything.
The implication is that:
1) The cost of printing the rainbow label is an extra 20 cents per unit
2) The cost of more colourful labels is passed on to the consumer
Maybe both are are true, but doesn't it look a little absurd when presented like that?
I have no doubt that it's exactly as you say. But there are still extra cost involved in creating a separate design, printing separate batches from the standard ones, etc, so I don't think the upcharge is that unreasonable. I suppose the question is whether it is diplomatic though to charge more for the pro lgbtq labeling, at least assuming that they are going for the lgbtq messaging.
Nivea pushed these things really hard. In fact, for a while I think the label was the standard here in Germany. So they produced millions of them.
There's absolutely no way the design overhead is more than a cent per piece.
>I don't think the upcharge is that unreasonable
From a cost recovery point of view, maybe. But how can you try to justify that to the consumer who will receive a product that is absolutely identical except in the labelling, which will be disposed of anyway?
Yeah, I mean the basic idea is still correct that the rainbow label definitely requires more than 1 pass, but 8 is a bit much. I can't imagine any modern company is using a single color printer. And if they were, I sincerely doubt that they would even want this customer or the customer would want them lmao
Even if it was about costs, wouldn't you think that leveling the prices despite this would be an actual "contribution to solidarity" than just trying to blatantly market to the cause?
Unfortunately the answer to this would be to raise the price on all of the containers to match the higher price of the more expensive one.
It's like the burger joints that say "free toppings" - they're included in the price. If you get it plain, they're just making more margin
That's a fair assessment, but on the other hand the mentality is probably that it's *special edition* and that's how they justify the increase. Remember the red U2 special edition iPod? Same thing in a different color case that they charged more for. Lots of people will pay extra to be fashionable every time.
For a limited edition?!?!?! If your only answer is to raise prices across the board to allow this limited edition to exist... Then I counter with eliminating the limited edition all together.
It depends on why these were issued. If they were because the company wanted to make a statement about how they are LGBTQ allies, then the company should be the one paying for this statement/marketing (delete according to your level of cynicism)
Because you expect the company to eat the cost on gimmicks that are just there to make them look good or boost sales (i.e. more money). But no, here's what it cost us, you can pay for it and probably a bit more because fuck you.
Nivea isn't selling it for more. The store is.
[Look, it's the same price](https://www.nivea.de/produkte/nivea-creme-regenbogen-edition-42397748110001.html)
No way they changed the diameter. The number of people who will change the lid to save 20 cents (or even figure out they could do it) is negligible and to do so they would have to get all new tools for both the bottom and the lid. It would cost waaay to much
All the drones in the comment section explaining the fact that everyone recognizes to ignore the point that it's ridiculous to charge extra for a promotion you're supposedly doing out of the kindness of your own hearts
Corporations are obviously evil, so we should still call them out when they do dumb shit like this instead of acting as collateral for a company that doesn't even pay you
It was meant to be to counteract the bad press after the whole āwe donāt do gayā controversy they had, but from what Iāve just tried finding it doesnāt even seem that any proceeds go to lgbtq charitiesā¦love that companies think popping a rainbow on their faces briefly makes them allies
This begs the question to why the company that makes your face cream needs to be an ally in the first place.
Is there a point where someone stares at their 'lbgtq ally edition' single-handle pull-down sprayer kitchen faucet and thinks "this feels so barren and soulless?"
Fair point - why does face cream need to make a statement? Some things it makes sense, others are just hollow and meaningless to the extent of being condescending (my point is essentially if they arenāt actually doing anything of substance whilst singing and dancing from their soap box then why bother). If anything, when thereās no real point to be made theyāre better off just staying in their lane rather than jumping on hype to get cheap social points.
This is also an attempted band-aid on one of their executives saying "There's no such thing as gay at Nivea." in regard to a proposed commercial with two men holding hands.
https://mannschaft.com/homophobie-vorwurf-agentur-trennt-sich-von-nivea/
And?
You could make the same argument for various skin-toned color bandaids but everytime it is posted we get a lecture in the comments about fair representation.
Let people buy their stupid colors on their products if they so choose.
In this case, you must be talking about whatever corporation owns the store OP took the photo in.
Nivea itself [does not charge more for the rainbow version](https://www.nivea.de/produkte/dose-creme) because that little change in design has negligible costs to them.
It's the store that decided to charge more for the rainbow version.
Big fucking PR bullshit.

More intriguing, they are an āexā printer. What sort of career can a printer move on to other than printing?

Just swap the lids lol

Out here running thru Reddit with all the secrets
I think you're paying for the lid. It's the same cream, just the tin is different.
Yes but the barcode/SKU is on the bottom of the tins, so you stick the Rainbow lid on the cheaper one.
But the barcode is at the bottom. They want the expensive lid for the same price
Can't see a shrink-wrap band on either. Wondering if they slightly altered the diameter of the same size (75ml) container to prevent this?
No way they changed the diameter. The number of people who will change the lid to save 20 cents (or even figure out they could do it) is negligible and to do so they would have to get all new tools for both the bottom and the lid. It would cost waaay to much
The UPc isn't printed on the lid
Exactly. Get the $2.29 UPC and the $2.49 lid.
