Ohhh Japan…
As you would already know, the Japanese culture fascinates me. One thing that fascinates me as a designer is the abundance of gadgets/gizmos/inventions that come out of the country. This being said, a great deal of these are wacky, weird or for a very niche market. So without further ado I would like to announce the “Foot Pee! Pack “. Oh that’s right, you read correctly! For those of you who have struggled with athlete’s foot for years [and obviously have never heard of a pharmacy before] your feet can now be healed…by your own urine. The common myth of human urine having the magic healing powers to cure athlete’s foot and dry feet has been thrown into the gauntlet with the Pee Pack.
Now, I am the first to acknowledge that I am not what you would call fluent in the Japanese language. Hence, I am unable to read the instructions to this product. However, using my cryptology skills I am putting the name and the imagery associated with the Pee Pack together to hypothesize that you use your own urine. If anybody can read this and prove otherwise please contact me, otherwise it’s the only explanation. So here is to me never getting the athlete’s foot :) If anyone has the athlete’s foot and is willing to give this a go, I would love to hear the outcome.
