A new Google feature that may have seemed sweet quickly turned sour. Google Maps recently tested a feature that showed users how many calories they could burn if they walked a route instead of driving it. To illustrate those calories, the app said how many mini-cupcakes a person would burn during the jaunt. “This walk burns around 313 Calories – that’s almost 3 mini cupcakes,” said a message within the app’s walking directions, CNN reported. Now, the tech giant is pulling the feature along with its pink cartoon cupcakes, citing strong customer feedback, according to TechCrunch. The feature, which was experimental, was never publicly announced.
