Air France chewing gum with the taste of France | KLM how about \u2018stroopwafel\u2019 chewing gum?<\/a><\/h3>\n

Air France started selling chewing gum with the taste of either pistachio-macaroon or cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e on their flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Los Angeles and San Francisco. No more popping of your ears during take-off and landing. Their \u2018gomme \u00e0 m\u00e2cher\u2019 is for sale at the airline\u2019s website<\/a> as well and for just \u20ac3.50 or $3.99, anyone can purchase a pack of 12. KLM, can we suggest \u2018stroopwafel\u2019 (the famous Dutch caramel waffles) chewing gum?<\/p>\n

Granny helps smombies cross the street<\/a><\/h3>\n

A spot-on awareness campaign by the Brazilian cookie brand Biscoitos Zez\u00e9<\/a>. We all know that the smartphone zombies (smombies) are dangerous in traffic, in their cars and on bikes. The ad by the cookie brand Zez\u00e9 addresses the walking smombies. They made an ad in which an old granny helped smombies cross a dangerous intersection. Nothing to do with hotels, restaurants, hotels or leisure but we spotted it and it brightened our day! And by the way selling cookies has also nothing to do with smombies as well, but humour does raise awareness about the dangers of mobile use in public. Also a great read is the indicated trend smombie urbanism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zhongshuge Book Store, Chengdu, China<\/a><\/h3>\n

Bookstore have been amazoned and tableted but somehow those bookstores that offer real-life experiences when we shop, seems to be coming back. Increasingly bookstores do include coffee shops, reading nooks, author events and knowledgeable staff but now Zhonghuge Book Store in Chengdu, China even includes architecture to attract their book buyers! Bookstore owner and book publisher Jin Hao in Shanghai has persistently believed in bookstores in China. He went back to the drawing board and invited Shanghai-based designer Li Xiang of XL-Muse to help him reimagine the book buying experience.\u00a0 His 10,000 square-foot (930 Square metres) store in a mall in Hangzhou is his concept store: Vast spaces, mirrored ceilings, whimsical shelving, nature-inspired quirkiness.

Restaurant Dirty Bones is handing out Instagram kits to snap the perfect photo<\/a><\/h3>\n

We wouldn\u2019t want to be a chef and having to watch all the awful, #foodporn images circulating the internet of your careful prepared dishes.

The free kits come with everything needed for the perfect Instagram photo: a LED camera light, clip-on wide angle camera lens, multi-device charger and even a tripod selfie stick for overhead table shots. The restaurant itself has also been designed with the \u201cInstagram universe\u201d in mind, allowing customers enough room and natural light to take well-composed photographs. Even the restaurant\u2019s menu has been curated for social media, as it is updated frequently with trending dishes to reflect what\u2019s popular online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
