QR Codes Which You Can Eat - Who'da Thought

Taco Bell comes out with eatable QR Codes


TechieDIY QR CodeWe have all seen QR Codes in our travels to the store or in magazines or on web sites. These funny looking square boxes seem to be growing and showing up just about everywhere. It seems that there was no end to where they were able to put them and that now extends to food. Taco Bell has come up with an editable QR Code and you can watch the video below where they talk about it. But they are not the only one who has taken QR Codes to a whole new level.

A German food company has been able to print QR Codes on editible paper which they then put on the top of cookies. They call them Qkie's. Novel idea and one that you may see in the near future which is in Europe right now. This has turned into a product brand for them. Another company using the editable paper is Clever Cupcakes in Montreal.

Most of the other editable QR Codes are a collection of things, such as cup cakes or M&M's, to then form a QR Code. The idea of a single item, such as the Qkie, is one that could well show up more in the future. The idea of using editable paper makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, you are creating the QR Code by hand which would take quite a bit of time.

So for now, we can talk about these few and wonder about what might come in the future. If you know of others, please add them in the comments so that they can be shared with everyone.
