”Food is a gift we give ourselves 3 times a day.”— Kimbal Musk
Ever thought about how good marketing can make a pear feel like a present? This image of fresh pears and the quote “Food is a gift we give ourselves 3 times a day” does exactly that. It flips a simple daily act—eating—into something joyful and meaningful.
Why It Works
- Reframes food from necessity to self-care
- Makes consumers associate eating with emotion, not just function
- Simple message that sticks instantly
- Visually reinforces freshness and abundance
Real World Examples
- Dove’s “Real Beauty” reframed soap into self-love and sold millions.
- Oatly made milk boring again… on purpose, but it felt rebellious and human.
- KIND Snacks positioned bars as “doing something nice for yourself.”
The takeaway: turn your product into a gift your customer gives themselves.
