KIND Snacks' Grab and Go billboard is not just another food advertisement, it's an interactive way for commuters at London's Kings Cross Street Station to nourish themselves during a busy day. The "pickable" billboard offers up fruits and snack bars and in doing so, it reminds people to get in their five-a-day.
The large billboard boasted more than 500 pieces of garden-fresh produce, helping people of all ages enjoy a healthy snack on the go. The BDA (Association of UK Dieticians) reports that just 8% of children between the ages of eight and 11, 27% of adults (19 to 64 years old) and 35% of people aged 65 years and over actually meet the five-a-day recommendation.
The interactive snack billboard spoke to passers-by and offered a way for people to achieve a quick win related to their daily health and wellness.
