QR cookies: the end of fortune cookies?!

February 4th, 2012

The German company Qkies idea was particularly clever to combine QR Code (Quick Response Code) and biscuit to create personalized messages edible.
The Qkies - a cooperative project of Juchem Gruppe (a German food retailer) and DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) - can be used as an alternative full of fun things: invitations to a birthday party up cards.
These cookies are purchased originals on the Internet for € 6.90 box of 20 cookies.
The buyer creates its cookies and baked before decorating with QR codes supplied, printed on edible paper (kind of paper or unleavened wafer paper ). The receiver scans the QR code with your smartphone is to be redirected to a video on YouTube, or to a photo on Flickr, or to a personalized web page containing the particular message of the sender / creator of Qkies.

Decidedly, the QR code does not surprise us! Personally, I'm willing instead of fortune cookies classics.
