Fast food restaurant Wimpy has made special "braille" hamburgers, with sesame
seeds on the buns spelling out messages in braille, according to a report on
Thursday.
Beeld newspaper said 15 braille hamburgers were made for a video to market the
restaurant's new braille menu.
The video shows chefs carefully arranging the sesame seeds on each bun, to
spell out different messages in braille, such as, "100 percent real beef burger
made for you".
The burgers were delivered to Braille Services, Louise Braille House and Blind
SA.
The video shows how blind people laugh as they read the messages and then enjoy
the burgers.
Another fast food restaurant, McDonalds, recently made headlines after a blind
woman was turned away because she had her guide dog with her.
McDonalds later apologised, saying it regretted the incident. - Sapa
