‘Smart Han’ in hand … from Japan
Traditionally Japanese people eat various kinds of rice balls and maki rolls (left) in lieu of sandwiches.
Therefore, this advertisement for the newly-released “Smart Han,” by Takara – Tomy Arts Corporation, for making rice balls to put in your Japanese bento/lunchbox looks quite normal…
On closer inspection, the Smart Han’s retro-looking drawings appear to be a little weird, but hey it’s Japan. On closer inspection, graphics start to reveal all sorts of odd engrish phrases such as: “Screw up storage” and “Hand Job!” ↓
See the original Takara Tomy Arts website for the “Smart Han” at: takaratomy-arts.co.jp/specials/smarthan
Well, at least it is not as strange as this Maki machine for rice rolling (3Yen / 2010-05-24) or the goofy The SUSHI BAZOOKA! (3Yen / 2012-06-15) ↓

That thing got nothing on the fleshlight…

Bah on the Fleshlight. The pure product of Japan tech, the “Tenga EGG”
is superior for Japanese balls … rice balls and others.

Remember the “Sushi Pooper”?

How can we forget?
Back in 2009, those sushi party poopers whinged about us for having a little fun with their silly product name, sheesh.
I just checked and SURPRISE—The Sushi Pooper is still has an online business selling 12-packs of frozen, “cooked”, sushi poops at: suship00per.com
