Maybe the reason the Nesquik box is bright yellow and has a colourful cartoon character on it is that kids in the supermarket who might not be able to read or differentiate Arial from Helvetica can still recognise, point to and blackmail their parent with tears to grab the box with Nesquik bunny which they've seen on the TV. This seems to be design in a vacuum.
