The Tomatan, A Robot That Will Feed You Tomatoes While You Run Because Japan

February 24, 2015 by Chris Durso

Apparently, Japanese runners like to eat tomatoes on-the-go to provide nourishment. And, because this is Japan and all, they’ve recently unveiled the most WTF-way-possible to do so.

Enter, The Tomatan… A robot that sits on a runner’s shoulders, that will dispense a juicy tomato directly to its human’s mouth on command.

The tomato robot was recently unveiled as a marketing promotion for food company Kagome, and not necessarily to encourage you to stand out at your next 5K fun-run. Please watch this.

Here is a Tomato Orbiting The Earth

November 25, 2013 by Chris Durso

Try not to panic, but there’s a fresh grape tomato orbiting the Earth. The good news, is that it doesn’t appear to be part of large globular alien race, or some weird government experiment involving farming in space.

No, the tomato traveling at 4.791 miles per second around the Earth will most likely end up in astronaut Koichi Wakata‏‘s salad. Wakata is aboard the International Space Station, and as he puts it, “One fresh tomato for dinner makes us happy in space. It came up with us on Soyuz TMA-11M two weeks ago.”

And if not, I for one welcome our new tomato overlords.

The Tomato Hairdo is a style created by an Osaka salon called Trick Store. The do is officially titled, “Ripe Tomato,” in case you wanted to order one yourself. The salon that does the ‘Tomato’ is located in Osaka’s hipster youth district, Amemura.

So, of course, this young lady had a tomato head before it was cool. Never change, Japan.
