"Apple iWatch, Wearable Devices Seen Taking Off"


Apple is always the first to take technology to the next level, so there is no surprise that they want to take a normal item, a watch, and turn it into a iWatch.  After reading about this product, it just seems ridiculous and pointless.  There is no need to have a computer on your wrist when everyone has iPhones that do the same thing in a much more convenient device.  I am starting to think that I am in a movie taking place in 3050 where robots are taking over the world.  Technology is a great thing to have, but in my opinion, too much technology will only lead to computerized robots taking over the world and putting the human race in the ground.       

Dunkin Donuts Product Promotion


It's Back!!!


Dunkin Donuts just re-released the delicious Angus Steak & Egg Sandwich.  This product came out last spring but was taken off the menu during the summer to make room for newer products.  The Angus Steak sandwich was such a big hit that DD decided to bring it back around as a new addition to the menu and bring in more customers.

I think that bringing this sandwich back was a great idea for Dunkin because it brings change to the menu that many people go to every morning and will be a pleasant change.  Having products around for a couple months than taking them off the menu make it seem like a "special" at a fancy restuarant and makes customers want to come in and get it before it goes away.

Do you agree that these types of "seasonal products" are successful?
