PlayStation Joins Pasta Garofalo on Play Your Pasta
References: go.skimresources & designtaxi
Sony PlayStation works in collaboration with Pasta Garofalo to launch a special edition pasta dubbed Play Your Pasta. It is made to represent the console's notable controller buttons and is now available to purchase through the UK-based online grocer Ocado -- each packet is able to serve 12 meals.
According to IGN, the four iconic buttons have stayed consistent on the controller. The blue cross and red circle mean yes and no respectively and the triangle represents 'point of view.' The square button prompts the in-game menus. The packaging is just as playful as the geometric shapes seen detailing the top and bottom of the bag. Co-branding details the front along with "Play Your Pasta."
