Mistletoe drone designed to snap Xmas kisses cuts woman’s face

A drone equipped with a sprig of mistletoe and a cam for taking pictures of kissing couples accidentally flew into a woman’s face and cut her nose in a New York restaurant.

TGI Friday’s chain introduced Mobile Mistletoes in some of its locations in the US and the UK in December. They are manually operated drones of different sizes – from 25.1 cm to 58.42cm – complete with mistletoe and a camera. The holiday idea was launched to “help inspire more guests to come together underneath the mistletoe and experience #Togethermas this Christmas,” says the promotional video.

However, New York photojournalist, Georgine Benvenuto, ended up with a bloody nose at the chain’s Sheepshead Bay restaurant last Thursday evening, when she went to take pictures of people kissing under the mistletoe.
