Noodle Chiller
Japan has invented some of the most crazy-useful products imaginable. Then there are products that just plain crazy, but they could become useful in certain situations. Someone invented a tiny fan that attaches to your chopsticks to gently blow away the steam from your bowl of noodles.
Judging by how old this picture looks, it was probably invented during the period when Japan’s top engineers were coming out with some of the weirdest inventions possible. Sadly, this thing didn’t catch on—probably because nobody wanted a one-pound fan secured to the end of their eating utensils.
