Would You Wear An Eco-Friendly Chopstick Bra?

This just in from Japan: Yummy-looking, chopstick-friendly lingerie.

This just in from Japan: Yummy-looking, chopstick-friendly lingerie. The cups of this bra serve up Japanese rice and soup bowls, while the sides of the bra store chopsticks for eco-friendly eating on the go.

It makes (some) sense, but could you actually equip your chest with chopsticks?

Better Living Through Design recently posted about these Restless Chopsticks. They're uniquely shaped with a thinner tip that doesn't touch the table. Designed by Mikiya Kobayashi, they're really quite clever. This way, the part that goes in your mouth doesn't have to touch the table. I like them, but what about you? What do you think of these Restless Chopsticks? Available in mustard, red, black, or off-white for $12 each.
