DISPENSARY CORNER 23 June 16
June 23, 2016
THERE’S a shocking (!) new
device out on the market to help
shopaholics curb their spending.
The wristband dubbed Pavlok as a nod to Pavlov’s
behaviour-conditioning theories,
looks just like a fitbit but the
catch is it’ll sting you with a
255-volt shock if
you go over your
spending limit.
The device
which is linked
to your online
bank account
knows exactly how
much cash you have to spare.
Go over your self-imposed limit
and ZAP!
But continue spending and it
moves into shock mode and that
doesn’t sound like too much fun
for anyone.
Pavlok can also be programmed
to monitor other habits
such as smoking, nail-biting,
unhealthy eating and more, the
manufacturer claims.
WHEN you and your phone
both need a recharge, KFC has
the answer - the KFC Watt-a-box.
The famous fast food chain
noticed patrons’ constant
reference to their phone, at
least as much as their food, and
decided it would be an attractive
value add to a meal.
Unfortunately the limited edition
boxes, featuring
detachable 6,100mAh Lithiumion
battery, USB cable and Apple
lightning cable, are only available
in India for a brief promotion.
