Finally, A Phone to Clean Your Nose With!
Can I just say that I love Japanese inventions? It seems that no matter how advanced something becomes, there is always a way to improve it that no one ever thought possible… or even truly necessary. Example you say? Well, how about this cell phone from Japan. Not only is it a fully functional phone but it also contains special ringtones. Ringtones that are so special that they can actually clear your sinuses. Forget about all of those napkins and handkerchiefs that you pick up randomly from shops in Japan now you can just use your mobile!
According to the article, the creator based his invention on scientific studies and basically involves people downloading special ringtones for their particular gender (men get 440 hertz ring tones, women get 532 hertz) and then holding their mobiles to their nose for thirty seconds as the ring tones play. Voila, no more plugged up nose.
Before those of you suffering from this year’s “death plague” shell out the cash for these however keep in mind a few things:
1) ~ Note that the creator says that he based his invention off of scientific studies but doesn’t say anything about conducting the experiments himself. Possibly just a mental slip?
2) ~ He also notes that the ringtones won’t work for everyone… maybe he meant ANYone?
3) ~ How stupid are you going to look holding your mobile phone up to your nose for thirty seconds every time you feel stuffed up?
So what do we think everyone, next big thing or next big stupid thing? Any readers in Japan with a stuffy nose want to share experiences with how your mobile cleared your nose?
