Abstract: | Dutch adults are becoming more health conscious and therefore the desire for reduced sugar, low-calorie, and low-alcoholic beverages expanded on the market. Hard seltzer is a relatively new product category in Europe that fits in the current desire to live healthier (Norris et al., 2021). Accordingly, this study aims to investigate whether three design elements on the product packaging can influence health perceptions of hard seltzer. The design elements are a slim or curvy body illustration, the nutrition facts positioned at the top or at the bottom, and high colour-saturated typeface outlining or low colour-saturated typeface outlining. |
