An Ice Cream Company Wants You To Stop Netflix Cheating On Your Significant Other
You've done it, your significant other has done it, and you know your friends have done it. We're talking about Netflix adultery, a crime more heinous than spilling spoilers that could break any relationship. One U.K.-based ice cream company is here to end the betrayal.
Cornetto, also known as the muse for director Edgar Wright's so-called Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End), is dipping its cones — er, toes — into the technological fashion realm with "Commitment Rings" that are programmed to keep your partner from Netflix-and-chilling (literal version) without you.
According to Fast Co. Create, the rings are linked to a mobile app that is connected to a streaming engine and allows you to pick the shows you want to watch with your significant other, placing a lock on said shows. The rings are made with Near Field Communication technology that sends a signal to a mobile app when the rings are near each other; only then will the ban be lifted, allowing you to binge on "your" shows.
There's no word yet about how to take the next step and get a pair of these Commitment Rings or official streaming partners.
