While we're on Mudokon Pops, something about them has always confused me. The consumers on Oddworld are analogous to the real world, largely unaware of the atrocities being committed. Surely marketing Mudokon Pops to a population with a mudokon contingent would be a little too obvious? Or is Oddworld society so far gone they still don't realise or care?
It has been explained by Lanning himself:
:
Nathan: The thing is, with that one I actually prefer the newer design, because it has that gloss of marketing, hiding the true horror of what the Glukkons were doing.

Lorne: I agree. I never liked the first one either. But that was just what came out from the artists and I was like “Uhhh… okay”. I mean, I try to give the artists some room and not change everything to my liking, but empower them to take ownership. Sometimes that means you like what they produce, sometimes you don’t, and sometimes it’s just not acceptable.
