‘An Apple A Day’ Calendar

20100201601

An apple a day…Of course that sounds familiar to everybody. But what we’re to argue today is not that famous song but an innovative calendar by Serviceplan. Designed for AOK health insurance, the calendar is actually a transparent tube that holds 28 to 31 apples, which correspondingly stands for a date of the month. As a result, you need to eat an apple everyday to get the correct date. Too bad this thing isn’t available on the market, but if you really love the idea as I do, you could make one with a tube and some apples.
