SINGAPORE: East Coast Park has been named the happiest
place in Singapore in a poll conducted by Wall's Ice Cream.
Sentosa came in second, and Singaporeans' own homes was
third.
Some 200 people in their 20s and 30s were polled online as part of
the company's "Share Happy" Campaign.
At the other end, offices in the Central Business District, schools
and Orchard Road were voted as the places which would most benefit
from sharing more happy moments.
The findings were released as Wall's unveiled the world's first
smile-activated ice cream vending machine at East Coast Park.
To get a free ice cream, all you have to do is give your biggest
and brightest smile.
Facial recognition technology will take a photo which is uploaded
on Facebook.
You can then pick your choice of ice cream.
The ice cream machine is making a world tour and Singapore is its
second stop after its debut in Portugal. Its next stop is
Brazil.
The company also gave out some 10,000 free ice creams at East Coast
Park to spread more smiles. - CNA/vm
