===Concept===

~~Question: Is there enough flour and sugar at home to make~~ a ~~cake for your friend's birthday tomorrow? Or do you need~~ to ~~stop at~~ the ~~store on your way home?~~

These smart containers are a response to all the rotten food, unnecessary purchases, and special cravings you've ever had. Now you can see what's in your kitchen from where ever you are, just by checking your smart phone.

~~Solution: Smart containers for your pantry — this way all~~ you ~~need to do is check your mobile device and~~ you can see ~~exactly how much flour and sugar~~ you ~~have at home. No need for unnecessary purchases or stops on the way home~~.

===Function===

The final product would have a short-distance sensor and wifi chip embedded within the lid of the container. The wifi chip would auto FTP the food data levels by sending the data to the wireless local area network. This info could then be accessed remotely with any web-enabled device, by logging into a secure account.
