To be fair our local NJ delicatessen sells the butter stick.....reminds me of Grot....(a british thing)
http://unix.rulez.org/~calver/pictures/japanese_inventions/02.html Lol Don't laught, this thing seems to be very useful for peoples with long/unatached hairs (like me)... Its always a pain to eat noddles ;D
'cause you'd look really bad if you attached them, worse than when you put a pink styrophoam circle around your head, same prob. :lol:
haha ;P http://unix.rulez.org/~calver/pictures/japanese_inventions/09.html I also don't understand the thing to rest your head in the subway... Mad mad mad ^^ I'm sure this book is a joke
The philosophy behind chindogu is that it solves your everyday problems using gadgets that introduce new problems, are cumbersome, or make you look too silly to bother. These things are designed to make you first think "aah, that really is useful," pause, and then realize what a bad idea it really is. That's the punchline.
The butter stick is ridicules. If they would release that over here people would be using it as an alternative to chap stick lol.
Aaah, Chindogu. Anyone used to watch "It'll Never Work" (that is, if you're in your 20s and from the UK)? They used to have a section devoted to the art of Chindogu.
That'll be Angela Lamont you are talking about and in true "where are they now" fashion..... ta da! http://www.theedge-uk.com/angela_lamont.htm You can even book her as an after dinner guest speaker, so I suspect you'll not be rushing for the 'phone however? :lol:
