Dave's Killer Bread adds changeable QR code to packs of Sin Dawg Independent bakery Dave's Killer Bread is adding a quick-response (QR) code to bags of its whole grain organic Sin Dawg Sinnamon Roll product, reports the seattlepi.com blog. The QR code will connect consumers with smart phones to a variety of content that will continually change to keep it fresh, relevant and valuable, including coupons, videos, recipes, articles, contests, nutritional information and testimonials. VP Dave Dahl says, "Packaging takes a lot of lead time to update, and has space limitations. Changing what the code links to is easy."
