The one-of-a-kind Recline-to-Dine recliner chair from Auntie Ann's was created with T3 to share a breakthrough in snacking technology. The limited-edition chair places pretzel delivery orders with the pull of a lever, thanks to an integrated Raspberry Pi computer and motion sensors. One option is to order Primetime Pretzels (a pair of Pretzel Nugget cups, two dips and two drinks,) Nuggets and Chill (one Pretzel Nugget Bucket, four dips and four drinks) or activate Bingemode Buckets to receive two Pretzel Nugget Buckets, six dip and six drinks.
The Recline-to-Dine is also the subject of a new social campaign from Auntie Ann's. The chair itself is a representation of the efficient delivery experience that can be found with the Pretzel Perks app.
