Japan’s Golden Crap
According to the Kyodo News ( June 3, 2010 ), this gold-plated toilet made by Inax Corp. is representing Japan at the World Expo in Shanghai in the Japan Industry Pavilion. Called the “Regio toilet,” Inax says it would cost a few million yen ($20 to 40K USD) if you want to buy one, which is quite the deal since it kills bacteria, cleans and flushes, all automatically as well as playing music through its built-in digital sound system (Japan Today).
And somehow fitting in with the gold crapper, is Japan’s solid gold softo cream–
. Valued at 300,000 Japanese yen (about $3,233 USD), these solid-gold cones of soft-serve ice cream were given away to three winners of the MiniStop convenience store’s contest on May 30.
