First I saw it online…
Then I saw it in real life….
I almost bought it just to destroy it. I am angry that this exists.
What’s for Dinner?
Apparently Oreos. Thanks Kraft.
Watch this video to see how the new Kraft Kiosk scans your face and tells you what you what’s for dinner. They’ll even send the item to your phone so you can add it to your shopping list and give you a free sample. WHAT?
