Jimmy Fallon would appreciate the gesture.
At Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, a haven for families, a dessert machine automatically age profiles you to determine if you merit a free treat.The facial recognition sampling machine, imagineered by CP+B, is a promotion for Jell-O Temptations, a premium low-calorie dessert range targeted to adults. Unlike Unilever’s ice cream machine, which dispensed wares for a smile, interaction that results in rejection is as much a part of the brand experience as walking away with a 150-cal jar of pudding: if you’re too young, you don’t get none.

13 Rules For Realizing Your Creative Vision
- There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
- Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
- There is no editing stage.
- Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
- Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
- The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
- Once you’re done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
- People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
- Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
- Destruction is a variant of done.
- If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
- Done is the engine of more.
