Artist Aaron Thong has created a cool series of iconic drinks in the form of a milk carton. The series, "In a Box," reinvents iconic drinks and puts them in the folded container. From brand names such as Pepsi and Sprite, Aaron Thong's series seems to play off the idea that these drinks are almost considered as much as a necessity as milk.
Other illustrations of Aaron Thong's includes The Simpson's drink, Duff Beer, and Kool-Aid. The one thing that makes Aaron's work unique is the fact that he does not use the brand name (asides from Duff) on any of his pieces, making it a fun game to guess which carton belongs to which brand. These illustrations are available at Society 6 for purchase.
