"  The supermarket brain-freeze. It can happen to even the most seasoned shopper. Despite your best efforts to plan ahead, you arrive at the store without a clue about what to make for dinner. In an effort to quell that grocery panic, Kraft Foods and the Intel Corporation have teamed up to create what they&amp;#039;re calling a &amp;quot;Meal Planning Solution,&amp;quot; a kind of virtual culinary coach that will provide individualized advice on what consumers should throw in to their shopping carts. Fast Company Magazine reports that the kiosk uses a technology called Anonymous Video Analytics, which assesses your age and gender (along with external factors like what time of day it is) to make purchasing recommendations. Look like a freshman in college? Maybe a box of Kraft Macaroni &amp;amp;amp; Cheese. Guy in a suit? Perhaps you&amp;#039;d like a little A-1 with that steak? The Kraft kiosk, which debuted at the 2011 National Retail Federation Show earlier this month, can also send recipes and shopping lists to your smart phone, and if you swipe your grocery store&amp;#039;s frequent buyer card, it can give additional advice based on past purchases. It even dispenses samples. This grocery store guru is part of Intel&amp;#039;s Connected Store program, which according to company&amp;#039;s site aims to &amp;quot;keep shoppers engaged&amp;quot; and also includes smart media carts, interactive kiosks, and digital signage. No word yet on when the Kraft Kiosks will hit stores, but you can bet when they do, they&amp;#039;ll be great buddies with your new smart fridge. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
