coolhunt 1 Fair soda
What is it?
In recent years there have been a number of successful launches fair trade drinks. A recent introduction in this area is the German LemonAid. It’s a elegant, organic soda made of only Fair Trade ingredients. The ingredients that used for this soda are mainly from South-America, the juice has made in Brazil and the sugar has made in Paraguay. After successful launches in home country Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Austria and Switzerland is this new soda now also available in two restaurants in Maastricht. (in the Netherlands)
Why it’s cool?
Not only because this soda is 100% organic and it’s made of Fair Trade ingredients but also because the authors of this product found that more farmers in third world countries should be able to deserve more money for their products. Besides paying higher prices to suppliers, a large part of the turnover of LemonAid goes to small projects in developing countries. Local farmers are now able to create much better conditions for their employees.

coolhunt 2 4Food, create online you own burger!
What is it?
A food chain where you can design your own personal and healthy burger online!
So does it works. In the middle of the meat (also fish and vegetarian available) there’s a hole (so it looks like a donut)
. In this ‘hole’ you can place all sorts of ingredients. All the ingredients are local and from high quality. There are about 600.000 combinations, so you have choice enough. Besides this all, 4food only using packages that are biological. You can save your design, give it a name and share it with others.
And the remarkable thing is that you get a reward of $25 cents when other customers ordering your creation. Logging into the site of 4food you get bonus points and receive a discount on your order. The price is not really high. It has a price of 5 to 10 dollars.
Why is this cool?
The coolest thing about this is how the designer of this company bring social media and healthy food together. This company give a hole new turn on the fast food chains we know today. Something that always have seen as unhealthy and fat is now more healthy and fresh and you have the possibility to made a burger in the way YOU want it. It’s only very pity that there isn’t a 4food chain in Holland. I really hope there will be one soon. For now, there’s only a 4food chain in New York.

coolhunt 3 Enjoy the sound of the Silence Disco
what is it?
It’s a disco where you were a headphone with one or more channels with all kind of music and different DJ’s. Everyone chooses their own taste of music. Are you tired of listen to the music or you need a little break you can take your headphone off and you won’t hear anything anymore.
why is it cool?
Last year at Lowlands I visit one and it was amazing! No more boring music that’s to loud. With Silence Disco you can choose your own volume and genre music. You will never have the feeling again that your ears are gonna explode because the volume of the music is just a little to much. And instead of screaming at your friends trying to start a conversation, you can now take your headphone off and talk at a normal volume with each other.
By the way! it’s very funny to see everyone going crazy on the music that they are listening that moment but not hearing the music.
coolhunt 4 Air pump for you bike
what is it?
It’s a air pump for your bicycle but you can also use it as a bicycle stand.
why is it cool?
Almost no one has a air pump these days and the chance it will be stole is very big. So this is a solution for that problem. It’s easy and you will never have to walk home again. I saw this pump not only in Tilburg but last week I saw it also at my home town. It’s a thing we will see more in the future and I think that’s a great idea!
coolhunt 5 Raw food
what is it?
I’ts unprocessed and uncooked food, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, dried fruid and seaweed. Heating food above 116 degrees F is believed to destroy enzymes in food that can assist in the digestion and absorption of food. Cooking is also thought to diminish the nutritional value and ‘life force’ of food.
why is it cool?
These days we’re only eating processed food and food with al lot of fat and other unhealthy stuff. The things you can eat by raw food are all natural. I’m not saying that eating ONLY raw food is heallthy but I do think that we have to eat more natural food and less processed food.
