Zingy the Keepon Pro

The world fell in love with EDF's 'Zingy' mascot - with calls for official toys to be released and the adverts being played and replayed all over youtube. 

But who is 'Zingy'? Turns out he is based on the 'Keepon Pro' - a robot designed to help social interaction in children with autism and other developmental disorders. 

I don't know if it's really lovely or really sad that the adorable blob is being used as marketing for an energy company, but I know that I just fell more in love with that little flame!
