Eco-Friendly Bra is Big in Japan

For all its high technology success and seriously serious culture, Japan certainly has its share of weird experiences for the traveler.

If you're not too busy chasing the latest unusual item for sale in a Japanese vending machine during your travels, you might want to keep an eye out for one of the newest Japanese inventions: the environmentally friendly chopsticks bra, known locally as the "My Hashi Bra".

In an attempt to counteract the country's disposable chopsticks culture, some smart fella invented a bra that women can wear and use to carry around their own chopsticks. Buy one, and when the server in your favorite sushi bar offers you chopsticks, you can reach down inside your shirt and say, "No thanks, I have my own."
