# Tweeting Cookie Dispensers The UID Cookie Box Rewards Tweets with Crispy Treats By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-10-20 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uid-cookie-box References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/10/18/cookie-for-a-tweet/) The UID Cookie Box really makes you work for your snack, but the tweeting [cookie dispenser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-cookie-box) will reward you for your efforts. Designed by Daniel Jansson, Alexis Morin and Sharon Williams, the UID Cookie Box dispenses a cookie to the person in line once they send a single tweet. Unlike most [vending machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pie-vending-machine), this one only offers the crispy treats. The display will also tell you what you'll have to tweet, as well. Unfortunately, if you're looking o satisfy your [massive cookie craving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-dough-free-treats-for-life), you'll have to head elsewhere. The cookie box keeps track of each participant, so it limits one cookie to one user. If you're really that desperate, who says you can't create a couple more accounts on the spot? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Media-triggered Vending Machines:** Design vending machines that require social media engagement to receive a reward. - **Gamification of Vending Machines:** Incorporate game-like elements into vending machines to make the experience more interactive and entertaining. - **Limited Quantity Vending Machines:** Create vending machines that offer exclusive products or a limited quantity of products to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Marketing and Advertising:** Incorporate social media engagement strategies into vending machines for promotional purposes. - **Food and Beverage:** Develop vending machines that dispense unique and limited edition food and beverage items to generate hype and exclusivity. - **Retail and Technology:** Implement gamification and limited quantity strategies into vending machines in retail stores to increase customer engagement and drive sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Snack Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaffa-cakes-installation.md) - [Giftable Cookie Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-cookie.md) - [Dedicated Social Media Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget.md) - [Shareable Cookie Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cookie-pie.md) - [Sci-Fi Arcade Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chips-ahoy-cookie-x-stranger-things.md) - [Chocolate Chip Cookie-Inspired Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tates-bake-shops.md) - [Stuffed Dubai-Style Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-chocolate-filled-cookie.md) - [Novel Robotic Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novel-robotic-vending-machine.md) - [Candy Bar-Infused Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-by-richs-cookies.md)
