Clemenger has seemingly created the perfect way to get people talking – by shutting down technology.
Clemenger BBDO Sydney has created the 'Pepper Hacker' for Dolmio, a device that supposedly shuts down Wi-Fi signals and mobile apps at the dinner table.
The creative agency says the seemingly normal pepper shaker would be able to shut down the signals with one twist of the pepper shaker.
And it's also just a pepper shaker.
The agency used research which suggested four out of five people thought technology should be banned at the dinner table, particularly where family was involved.
“We believe that meals shared with family and friends are often distracted by the very technology that is supposed to bring us closer together, so we’ve created the Dolmio Pepper Hacker to help connect us with the people in front of us,” Mars Food marketing director Richard Stear said.
“The Dolmio Pepper Hacker might not be available to every household yet but we believe that our experiment perfectly shows that once you disconnect from your technology at the dinner table you can really connect as a family.”
