Burger Eating Napkin Shield
Despite having delicious and diverse local cuisine, American fast food is a favorite for Japanese teenagers and young adults. But of course, there really is no elegant way to eat a big juicy burger.. until now.
Most burgers, whether fast food place or gourmet, come with a “Napkin Sheild” these shields act as a way of maintaining “Ochobo,” a tradition in Japan that is considered polite to cover one’s mouth while eating in public. Since launching the napkins, burger sales have increased 213% with women!
Silent Karaoke
Karaoke is a staple Japanese pastime, and while the western world has happily adopted it, they haven’t learned to understand some of the nuisances. For example, most Japanese people use a “silent karaoke mic” to train themselves before going out.
The device retails for 81 dollars and allows the singer to practice their notes while reducing 70% of the audible noise. So, you can belt your favorite track without disturbing the neighbors and make sure you don’t make a fool of yourself at your next Karaoke session.
