KFC Bluetooth Keyboard Placemats

Do you have that nagging feeling you are missing something on your smartphone as you down a bucket of fried chicken at KFC?

Thought so, and so did KFC.  Therefore they've crafted a solution. They've transformed their place-mats in to bluetooth keyboards.  Problem solved!

Here is a snippet from that piece:

It's a first world solution to a first world problem: a super-thin, rechargeable Bluetooth keyboard that arrives with your tray of fast food, connects to your smartphone, and lets you text with sticky fingers without messing up your screen. The KFC Tray Typer — part of an advertising campaign for the fast food chain in Germany — is a high-tech replacement for the usual grease-absorbing paper slip that's served up on fast food trays. Presumably, it's durable enough to get wiped down and re-used — although the advert's creator, Serviceplan, claims the smart paper trays were so popular when handed out during the opening week of new restaurants that "every single one ... was taken home."

The Tray Typer may sound far-fetched, but technologically it's cutting edge — not science fiction.

Happy Fried Chicken,
