Prego Pivots From Budget-Tier Pasta Sauce to Small Microphones That Listen to Your Family’s Intimate Conversations

Prego, with StoryCorps, launched the Connection Keeper, a screen-free recorder for family dinner conversations.

The hockey puck-shaped device stores audio locally and has no Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, cloud access, or AI.

It can be uploaded manually later, and the recordings may be archived through the Library of Congress.

The $20 bundle includes pasta sauce and prompt cards, underscoring a privacy-focused, physical product experience.
