Leaving aside any
analysis of the capitalist horrors of McDonalds as an organisation,
and of the nutritional value of its food, it does know a good hand
dryer when it sees one. And given that one McDonalds is exactly like
another that means a good hand-dryer in every city across the world.
I don't know about you but I for one find that reassuring. And for a
company with a mascot that could give Chuck Norris coulrophobia to be reassuring is no easy task.
Now this dryer isn't
the best for drying time. Nor is it the best for heat or air
pressure.
Don't get me wrong,
it's certainly well above average. But what really excited me about
this unit was its aesthetics. A sleek, shiny, compact black unit
that looks like it comes straight out of Blade Runner or Minority
Report. I wouldn't be surprised if it was stealing my biodata as I
used it. And I'd let it.
Knowing that text would
spoil its slinky beauty the makers have opted not to include any. All
that breaks the ebony expanse of its sexy contours is a single
triangular light which is red at resting and a neon green when
in use. Based on this I have opted to name it the Triangulus. Ah,
sweet sweet Triangulus. J'adore.
In case you didn't
guess, I love the Triangulus. Most times I come out of a toilet I
feel underwhelmed. In all
too rare occasions I come out with properly dried hands. But it is
only after using the
Triangulus that, just for a few glorious moments, I feel I have
entered the future.
