Creative Japanese Inventions, 1

Today some papers appeared on my desk. "Can you correct these by Thursday?" The assignment was to advertise one of these 6 weird Japanese inventions and sell it to a customer. We customers don't know what it is or how to use it, so they have to explain. It's these kinds of things that make me love being an ALT.
