Let’s Pick up Tiny Cats with Chopsticks!

Posted on by

Using chopsticks can be a difficult skill to master up at first, but with practice you can pick up anything with these popular Asian eating utensils. And while picking up rice and sushi is definitely on the standard list of comestibles you might use chopsticks for, tiny cats are not usually on the menu.

But the guys at Brando have different ideas in their head with the wacky Konekodarake Cat Balance Game from Japan – which lets you practice picking up and balancing stuff with chopsticks by testing your skills on tiny kitties. Why? Because.

The set includes a miniature cat treehouse along with 10 tiny cats in various positions, and a box (complete with airholes) you can keep your chopstick kitties in. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.

If you’re ready to brush up on your chopstick work, head on over to Brando, where you can grab the Konekodarake Cat Balance Game for $24.90(USD). And no, you cannot use these to eat real cats.


Aliens Chopsticks Will Impale and Hug Your Food

I’m not too keen on the lightsaber chopsticks; having my food all lit up isn’t so appealing to me. But I’m not sure I like these Aliens chopsticks either. These could be good for dieting though, because they might help gross out someone into eating less.

It would’ve been more awesome if the Facehuggers and their buddies were at the food end of the sticks, but I guess that would be too disgusting in practice.

I must admit, the Big Chap sticks – Big Chapsticks? – look really cool.

Exosuit up and head to ThinkGeek to order the Aliens chopsticks for $10 (USD) a pair.

Lightsaber Chopsticks Now Light Up!

I know, two lightsaber posts in a row – but I couldn’t resist posting this when I saw it. Yes, thanks to the gadget wizards at Japan’s Kotobukiya, we’re about to get chopsticks that not only look like lightsabers, but that actually light up.

I first came across lightsaber chopsticks a couple of years ago, but they were missing the most important feature of all. These new light-up LED lightsaber chopsticks come in either Luke Skywalker blue or Darth Vader red, and will light up your bento box with the push of a button.

NCSX is accepting pre-orders now for November 2012 delivery for $22.90(USD) a pair. I know that’s a long time to wait, but just think how awesome they’ll look sitting under the tree this holiday season.
