Show, Don’t Tell. But with Sugar.

Updated on
Show-don’t-tell-sugar

Ever read a label that says “39g of sugar” and not thought twice?
Now look at this image. Each drink is paired with a bag showing how much sugar it actually contains. Suddenly, that cola hits differently.

Why this works

  • Visual beats verbal. Our brains process images 60,000x faster than text.
  • Turns abstract numbers into physical impact.
  • Triggers emotion (aka the “wow” or “gross” factor).
  • Makes comparison instant—Coke vs. water is now obvious.
  • Sticky and shareable—people love passing this “did-you-know” visual on.

Real-world vibes

  • Anti-smoking ads showing tar-filled lungs.
  • Gym posters stacking body fat next to junk food.
  • Eco brands displaying trash collected from one family’s weekly waste.

Numbers tell. Pictures sell.
