DailyDirt: Transporting Your Fast Food
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Sometimes it really is the little things that matter. The coffee cup sleeve has saved countless fingers from getting too hot while holding its namesake beverage. And who can forget the packaging that kept the "hot side hot, and the cool side cool"...? Here are just a few more fast food innovations that might improve your next meal.- A nice grilled cheese sandwich doesn't really travel well, and it'll probably lose its crispy texture after a few minutes in any kind of closed container. The SmartBox is a technological solution that keeps several grilled cheese sandwiches at peak freshness. [url]
- Why should you carry around your burger, fries and a drink in a paper bag? The "Togo package" offers a one-hand solution for carrying these three menu items, but it's not quite a versatile for carrying multiple orders like a paper bag. [url]
- A new coffee cup lid design prevents spillage and still lets you smell the aroma of the beverage. The Viora lid aims to improve the ubiquitous Solo Traveler lid -- which was created in 1986 and has even made it into a MoMA exhibition in Cincinnati. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Grains
That would be the trick to up everyone's spirits.
Good tasting bread without 'Le Wheat.'
rye, spelt --- na and no.
Shy of the Non-Wheat Bread, we'll need more Carl Jr's Lettuce Wrapped Burger's to _START_ to bring the collective weight of America down now..
My opinion of course your welcome to get FAT on the food pyramid. Eat your "Healthy Grains"
