3 out of 7 of your "useless" japanese inventions are actually pretty damn useful and I would unashamedly use of any these.

the umbrella tube seems usefull and the butter stick, the other ones are pretty useless imo. especially the fan on chopsticks...i'm an avid eater of ramen/noodles/spaghetti and although they can be very very hot, i don't need a fan hangin on my freakin chopsticks or fork to eat it. A few blows on it and its ready to burn my mouth. Seems like it would blow dirt on it or something, and u'd have to keep that fan clean as fuck..

I wish i could make goldfish do that. I would have billions of my goldfish army to stop the shipping lanes and demand payment by the worlds leaders. When they didn't pay it would be war. War on a scale never seen before by humanity or goldfish kind. And i would be the ruler for all eternity with my giant city of Atlantis 2 and my throne built out of the stupidity of people banned on TL.net. It would be a huge throne.

More like 3 seconds i believe. And i dont think the movement has anything to do with memory, i'm guessing they follow an image or signal or something.

you even say yourself "...a few blows..." well genius,
guess what the use of the fan is? to add flavour to your noodles? to clean them?
also would you rather rest your chin on something, allowing your body to almost completely relax, or to hold your arm up in the air??
you can't be very comfortable holding onto something, why not have something hold on to you?? the woman in the picture looks like she is practically sleeping

you can also use the chin rest as a hand rest if your going to be that awkward, how can something which tbh doesn't look like it's going to cost anything more than the standard help-you-stand-things be useless when it allows more variety with how it is used?

S) I don't need a fan hangin on my freakin chopsticks or fork to eat it.
E) You don't need "freakin chopsticks" or a "fork" to eat your noodless at all.

The chin cane holder thing would immediately be useless as a rusty, wobble Australian rails goers would have lots of laughs at that invention being contained on the train ;D?!

I want to be a businessmen now and order large stocks of them now.
