What is the world coming to?
It is quite possible that some of you know, and some of you do not, that in Japan, according to the law, the manufacturer must depict the goods on the packaging exactly as they are in real life.
It is not clear why not make the packages transparent – it is obviously simpler and then definitely without distortions. The Eastern soul is a mystery. The island is small, there is nothing else to do.
In principle, these packages could only confirm this rule,
if it weren’t for one “but”! This isn’t food, but a plastic model of food!
Everything is as it should be: on sprues. Bite off, but don’t eat, glue.
And then paint it to the best of your culinary and artistic abilities.
If this is too easy for you, and you like to mess around with the assembly, then here it is:
The set includes 364 rice grains (symbolic). The shrimps do not need to be painted. The tail is movable: you can fix it at the desired angle.
There are other products on this rice base.
With shrimp – this is just the latest release.
If rice alone is not enough for you, you can add caviar.
The caviar is there for a reason, it’s really for variety. There are 64 eggs in total, 12 of which are large, 24 medium, 28 small.
But it’s not just food that warms the heart of the average Japanese. The Japanese soul craves cleanliness and order. But how can you realize this impulse if everything around you is clean and tidy? So you go and buy a prefabricated plastic model of garbage for one and a half thousand yen.
From two sprues without glue and without subsequent painting
you can assemble two balls of crumpled paper.
And lie contented and well-fed in this mess.
Agree, and you yourself already feel some unspokenness. There is food, there is garbage, but something is missing. There are not enough flies! And I have them!
In a 5cm x 3.5cm x 1.5cm box for a measly £18, you get a 3D printed body with paws and eyes,
graceful transparent wings
and exquisite hair!
Now there’s harmony!!
Happy April Fool’s Day!
P.S. The whole joke is that this is not a joke, not a fake and not an AI sophistication – this is reality. Plastic sushi and other Japanese food can be viewed and bought on the website of the manufacturer Syuto. The garbage is there too. But for flies, you need to look to the island on the other side of the earth Whistle blower gallery.
