Burger King's Crown-Shaped Social Distance Hats Keep People Apart

— May 25, 2020 — Lifestyle
Restaurants are just beginning to reopen their physical locations and in Germany, Burger King is on a mission to remind guests of the importance of keeping a few feet apart from others with social distancing hats. Burger King released a modified version of its classic paper crowns that help with "social distancing like a King." Thanks to the extra-wide diameter of the crown, the design creates a bubble of personal space that makes it hard for others to breech.

To remind people that social distancing measures are still in place, and are expected to be for a while, fast food brands are altering their logos or creating menu items and marketing material that encourages people to keep space between one another in playful ways.
