I Need Some Krispy Kreme Grass Sandals
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Wait a minute! What did he say? Yes, grass sandals. It seems that while being delicious, they also probably are pretty comfortable although you’d end up having grass stained feet. I just wonder how often you have to mow and water the damn things. Don’t leave them off your feet too long either because some dog would poop on the things. That would be messy.
Krispy Kreme questioned over 1,000 UK workers and found that over half (53 per cent) of urbanites believe their stress levels are affected by a lack of contact with Mother Nature. In response to the problem Krispy Kreme has created the world’s first grass flip-flops to bring summer magic to the city – giving stressed out workers a (literal) spring in their step by creating an instant grassy park underneath their feet regardless of their urban location.
The al fresco flip-flops take up to three weeks to grow and each shoe is covered with over 5,000 blades of grass. If watered regularly the unique footwear can remain in season for over four months – meaning they are the perfect, head-turning summer-accessory for stressed-out men and women.
Katie McDermott from Krispy Kreme comments:
“There’s currently a lot of uncertainty in the city so what better way to escape the concrete jungle than by slipping on a pair of grass flip-flops and walking around in your own mobile meadow. We cheer people up every day with our one of a kind doughnuts, but hopefully by providing them with their own part of park life too we’ll be able to bring a sense of natural calm to stressed-out workers.”
