Good hair day pasta - blonde or brunette

An oldie but still a goodie. The 'Good Hair day' pasta packaging concept really stands out on the shelf. It really shows how great packaging instantly grabs your attention, even amongst a multitude of competing products.

The 'Eau De Space' scent was developed by chemist Steve Pearce over a decade ago but was only used by NASA during astronaut field training. Now, according to
