Krispy Kreme's Portable Promo Brings the Outdoors In

— July 1, 2009 — Unique
As city workers are finding it hard to escape the office this summer and enjoy the outdoors, Krispy Kreme UK has created the world’s first ‘summer in a briefcase.’

The briefcases are designed to allow stressed-out office workers to sit in the comfort of a green park or garden on one side, with the luxury of real grass under their feet on the other--wherever they are.

The briefcases take up to three weeks to grow and each interior is covered with over 50,000 blades of grass.
