McDonalds in Japan has begun providing nutritional information of their foodstuffs to customers by means of QR codes on wrappers. For those who don’t know, a QR code works similar to a barcode, but is designed to be scanned by your mobile phone’s camera instead. Upon scanning, your phone will go online and return, in this case, the nutritional value of your cheeseburger. I can’t imagine you being very pleased finding out how healthy that Big Mac actually is after you’ve bought it, but I suppose you would have a rough idea what it was beforehand anyway.
