China Trend: Mobile phone condoms

Mar 4, 2008

Phonecondoms-1

A Beijing restaurant trend that protects the sloppy eater’s phone. The waiters at this restaurant delicately placed the diner’s phones in the bags.

Marketers take note: Great advertising opportunity since people tend to look down at BlackBerrys so often. I have long been fascinated by the cultural differences in use of mobile phones, something I wrote about here for the IHT. Thanks for the great dinner, Andrew!
