Day Dots
Colour Coding for Date Validation | |
If you've ever worked in a professional
kitchen, you'll know that considerable
time
and effort is spent in rotating foods and
throwing out perishables.
The day dot is my proposal. This large
sticky coloured label has a dye within it
that, on exposure to the air, slowly
darkens in certain
areas to reveal a white
skull and crossbones on a black
background.
The day dot comes in various types as
some foodstuffs will last longer than
others.

good link from [jutta], but the smart
containers work via detecting the gases
emitted by decomposition. If the food is
in any state of decomposition, it's
already dangerous. |

This idea works via the official health
inspector guidelines : if a food should
be used in three days, put a three Day
Dot on it. |
