Kraft vending machine teases children with adult-only pudding dispenser (video)

We have seen odd and law-swerving vending machines before, but none as meanspirited as Kraft’s collaboration with Intel that only gives pudding samples to adults. The unimaginatively titled iSample denies the youthful its sweet nectar by taking a facial scan and determining dessert deservedness in response to biometric data, like how far apart your facial expression are. Part experiment, part publicity stunt, Intel is making an attempt out technologies which can recommend products in accordance with age. The corporate also claims it could retrofit the technology into existing machines to let companies study who’s buying its products; Kraft is obviously in it simply to deny children some pudding. To look when you have spent enough time on the fountain of minor, head all the way down to Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium or New York’s South Street Seaport, and take your house within the line of oldsters ordering one for his or her progeny. Check the promo video after the break to look the machine wiping disappointment all around the kids’ little faces.
