Banana Vending Machines in Japan

Posted by | Only In Japan, Random | No Comments

Haha, this is so weird. They now have banana vending machines in Japan that maintain bananas at their ideal temperature of 55.4 degrees Farenheit, and they are priced at ¥130 (appx. $1.50 USD) a piece or ¥390 (appx. $4.50) for a bunch. Doesn’t make much sense considering bananas generally go bad after about a week or so. Ah well.

Only in Japan: Humping Dog and Peeing Dog Toys

Posted by | Only In Japan, Random, WTF?! | No Comments

The last time I went to Japan, I walked into a store and was surprised to see a display of “humping” dog-USB toys. Looks like they’ve now taken it a step further… Up for preorder at the Japan Trend Shop is the Peeing Dog, which is a robotic toy dog designed to replicate the behavior of a dog with a full bladder. After winding it up, it walks, stops, raises its hind leg, takes a pee, and then repeats from the beginning until it’s fuly unwound. The Peeind Dog will be released on July 5, but can be preordered for only $34.00, plus $18.00 shipping & handling.
