Introducing Poopons – An App that Turns Dog Poo into Coupons [Video]
Dog poo in exchange for your morning coffee or muffin? Well not quite. A parody video has been released by creative duo, Ricky and Angela, poking fun at some of the quirkier apps now on the market.
As a dog owner, it really bugs me when other dog owners don’t clean up after their pooch. Nobody wants to step in a doggy ‘landmine’. So the idea of motivating dog owners to pick up after their dog by redeeming loyalty points is intriguing. The ‘idea’ is simple – use a ‘Poopon’ bag to pick up your dog’s ‘business’ and the warmth will cause a code on the bag to be revealed. You scan the code to collect ‘Poopon Points’ which can be redeemed at local stores.

Julie,
Here we go with the poo again
It seems like a good idea, but wouldn’t regular body heat activate the coupon too? It would be great if they found a way around it because it would probably encourage more people to clean up.
John
It probably would unless it was some sort of special poo-only activation system! I’d say the heat activation is the least of the problems with this idea!
