It Passes Tissues



In 2218 Japan will be overrun with elderly people with snotty noses. Leave it to a Japanese robotics company to take the lead and develop the Mospeng-kun, a tissue dispensing robot.


For now, you'll find Mospeng-kun at high-profile social gatherings, conventions and expos. The forever smiling bot knows when you approach and in act of friendship, offers you a free pack of tissue.


You can't help but smile as you hear it thank you in its high pitched voice secretly counting every person that comes by. Sure it's obedient now but just wait, you'll see. . . You can rent one for $835 for 5 days.


I wonder how they came to that figure. I digress, if that's a bit too pricey for your parties then just watch this video and pretend.
