Read the lettering, then the colors
Both packs in this Presidential Cannabis League rematch hide something in plain sight.
On Crescendo, it's in the name itself. The middle of the lettering is drawn as a crescendo mark, the sign musicians use for getting louder, and a silver treble clef rises out of a floating island behind it.
On Blue Raspberry, it's in the structure. A double helix of red and blue liquid chrome twists around the pack, with raspberries in both colors flying through the frame. Oklahoma's fruit-by-fruit Silver roster puts Blue Raspberry first, a name that naturally supports cool blue package language.
Look closer and the two scenes share a palette. Crescendo's notes spin through electric blue clouds, and Blue Raspberry raises a frosty silver fan leaf to match the silver clef. Blue Raspberry wears Presidential's classic packaging, while Crescendo plays in the New Pack Line.
What's inside
Blue Raspberry is a Silver Flavor Series team built on flower, distillate and kief and marked Indica. Crescendo starts from THC Design flower, carries live resin and a diamond finish, and its packs read Sativa.
The rosters mirror each other in size: each one sends out two players, a 1.5g Blunt rolled tobacco-free and a 1g Pre-Roll. That gives shoppers a clean choice, and the guide to how the two rolled formats differ explains it: the blunt's thicker wrap holds more material and burns more slowly, while the pre-roll uses thin rolling paper.
