Top 10 Cool Scans

NACS lists products preview room faves

LAS VEGAS -- More than 1,300-plus unique users tried out the hand-held scanners over the four days that the Cool New Products Preview Room was open during the NACS Show 2005 to scan their top product choices and receive a comprehensive printout of where to locate those selected products on the tradeshow floor, said the National Association of Convenience Stores.

That means an even greater number of buyers visited the Preview Room, since many of the scanners were used by a group of retailers from the same company, NACS said. In all, more than 20,000 scans [image-nocss] were registered.

Here are the products that received the most scans overall at NACS Show 2005:

1. Bistro to Go Bowl Salads (Ready Pac).

2. QL-650 TD PC Label Printer (Brother International).

3. Wet Willys Edible Cocktails (Impact Distribution Inc.).

4. FlavorFusion (IMI Cornelius).

5. DV maticAutomated Movie Rental Kiosk (ELO Media).

6. License Plate Recognition (i3DVR International).

7. New Line of Hot Beverages (S&D Coffee Inc.).

8. Dreyer's Dibs Ice Cream Treats (Nestle USA).

9. Tide to Go Stain Pen (Procter & Gamble).

10. Cinnabon CinnaPretzel (J&J Snack Foods Corp.).
