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]
