“We’ve come up with several technologically advanced, creative experiences for our customers and fans this year,” the chain’s director of advertising George Felix said. “But even we feel the burden of technology during the holiday season. So we decided to go in the opposite direction and create an anti-technology product, using technology, to help one lucky buyer literally escape the holiday chaos.”
The pod is “adorned with enamel paint and [an] 8-pound high-density architectural foam.” It also costs a whopping $10,000 (around P507,000).
“We were going to sell this for the ridiculously high price of $96,485.34,” added Felix. “But in the spirit of the season, I said, ‘nah, let’s make it a deal.'” JB
