The UK is celebrating summer with this newest promotion from Krispy Kreme!
Krispy Kreme has created the world’s first (living) grass flip flops, said Trendhunter.
Believe it or not, each one of these flip flops has over 5,000 blades of grass growing from its sole. These babies won’t survive on their own though! If you take care of and water them, they will last you over four months.
Free pairs will be given out to stressed London commuters so they can relax in their own mini-parks, wherever they may be, the Trendhunter article concluded.

This program comes after the fact that Ikea discovered 20% of their customers rode a bike to the store, in Denmark, even…
There is something so satisfying simple about managing projects. They are a discrete part of work life. They have a beginning and an end. For those of us who use project management software, there are few moments in the office that bring as much joy as the moment when we enter project status as “Completed.” Somehow, once that status is entered, we can breathe more easily.
Even Web coordinators notice this. Often victims of project scope creep, they sometimes say they‘re jealous of their print counterparts, since the website evolves and seems to remain in “Ongoing” status interminably, whereas the print…
The Australian clothing line, Ksubi, has built “The Bombed Mache.” Instead of using a fancy, elaborate design mechanism for their store, they opted for a much simpler, cheaper and earth-friendly shop concept.
According to Trendhunter, “The Bombed Mache” is Ksubi’s own rendition of a socially-conscious, earth-loving retail store. Eighty percent was built from cut-and-paste, throw-away cardboard and some other reusable refuse.
Trendhunter goes on to describe, that “The Bombed Mache” is located in the middle of a suburban neighborhood in Melbourne, so it still offers the same superb shopping experience to its hip target market despite its shanty-looking appearance.
The creators of the cardboard…
