A friend posted this as his facebook status, Help Remedies has created a set of medicines and bandages with awesome packaging. The packaging was alluring and drew me in. I found out that it was made of biodegradable material, another plus for awesomeness.

Instead of simply putting a generic name like “acetaminophen”, it says “help, I have a headache.” Or instead of “ibuprofen”, “help, I have an aching body.” More packaging images can be found in this blog lovelypackage.com and at coolhunting.com

I looked at their website and found that they are really approaching the world of medicine with a quirky point of view. For example, I played around with the images in their website to make it all the same color. Once that was complete, the site opened a new tab to Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation, hilarious.

The general tone of their site is really loose and casual, At one of their product pages, there is a link that says – our sincerest apologies, clicking on it popped up a new window with the following text:

“Dear sneeze fetishist,
Sorry. Help remedies does not intend to deprive anyone of the things that they love in life. In order to counterbalance the impact of “help I have allergies,” help remedies hereby provides www.helpihaveasneezingfetish.com. We hope this will make up for some of the sadness we have caused you.”
