A jug shaped like a fish is odd enough to stop the scroll. The cartoon wave gives its strange gurgle a shape a photo cannot catch, and the single word on the image points at the sound without explaining it. The title promises the why.
How the packaging works
Title
It promises the reason behind the weirdness rather than just naming the object.
Thumbnail
It shows the real jug pouring, with a drawn wave standing in for the sound.
Remix this
Use this when the thing you explain makes a sound or effect a camera cannot show. Draw it as a simple overlay on the real photo. A sketch can show what a lens misses.
The transferable lesson
Draw the invisible effect onto the real photo.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
