Like a Walk in the Park

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Since interesting Krispy Kreme product combinations were recent a topic of discussion, I thought this was relevant to share.

New research in the U.K. shows that 72 percent of their workforce admitted to feeling seriously stressed on a daily basis, with 81 percent saying that a simple walk in the park makes them feel instantly relaxed.

To alleviate this stress, the good folks at Krispy Kreme came up with this Chia Pet-inspired solution: real grass flip-flops.

If a walk in the park helps you feel relaxed, what better way to de-stress than take a park with you everywhere you go (assuming flip flops are allowed)?

The footwear is currently being given out to consumers in London, with nationwide distributition planned. The grass is expected to last four months.

Worthwhile combo or another mismatched Krispy Kreme creation?
