Above the barcode, you'll find a charming design of a cow, a barn, and a silo, reminiscent of a Hokkaido farm scene. On social media, comments poured in, such as "I never knew this before!" and "I love this kind of playful spirit." Some people even rushed to check the butter they had at home, exclaiming, "Mine has it too!"
How Did This Playful Barcode Design Come to Be?
What's the story behind this unique barcode design? We spoke with a representative from Megmilk Snow Brand, the manufacturer of Snow Brand Hokkaido Butter, to find out.
We wanted customers who pick up our product to imagine the magnificent scenery of Hokkaido's farms, even if just for a moment. So, without altering the historic packaging of Snow Brand Hokkaido Butter, we added this creative touch to the barcode area.
This design barcode has been in use since around 2013.
Also, the image posted on X is an example from a product exclusive to Costco.
Next Time You See It, Check the Barcode!
It's a creative design that brings a little smile and a moment of warmth when you discover it. The next time you see Snow Brand Hokkaido Butter at the supermarket, be sure to take a closer look at the barcode.
