Maybe we haven’t invented flying cars like the Jetsons yet, but businesses have certainly found new ways to innovate.

C&A markets the hangers as having a shopping buddy, or a second opinion. The clothes with lower ratings are for people who want to stand out, and those with higher ratings are for people who follow what’s in style and what’s popular.
Geschmackslabor in Germany has more than twenty custom-made flavor oils from very hot (peperoncini) to very caffeine (arabica).
