Speak Out: Would You Use A Hands-Free Hamburger Holder?

Just the other day, my coworkers and I were talking about ways to keep our point-and-shoot cameras steady while we shoot videos at events and meetings.

Hal suggested that Patch look into buying or developing a thing that would hold our cameras around our necks and bring them up to eye level when we needed them.

“Like the thing Bob Dylan uses to hold his harmonica,” Hal said.

Little did we know, a company was working on a similar idea for its products.

That company? Burger King.

According to Eater, Burger King Puerto Rico sent out 50 Hands Free Whopper Holders to members of its loyalty program, in honor of its 50^th anniversary in Puerto Rico.

The Whopper Holder allows the burger to hang in front of your face, freeing up your hands for other things.

But Burger King is a little late to the party: McDonald's Japan has debuted a French Fry holder to help you eat fries on the go.

The promotional video for the Hands Free Whopper is pretty silly – it shows people using the device to eat while they drive, paint their toenails, dance and prune their hedges – leading some to say that the product is a gag.

Speak Out: But if the Hands Free Whopper Holder is real and if it was available here, would you use it? Is it a convenience or just strange? Are these things necessary? Are we that busy that we can't take a few minutes to eat using our hands?
