This has got to be the wackiest way to make a statement about recycling, reusable chopstick in a bra. Triumph has created a bra incorporating reusable chopsticks into a bra, which allow the owner to pop out her chopsticks and tuck them back in, when done. Right! It certainly is eye catching,and gets the point across about recycling, and the impact that our disposable culture is having on the world. Not to mention the eye full some guy is going to get when you want to whip out these babies. The chopsticks that is.
On November 7, lingerie maker Triumph International Japan unveiled the “My Chopsticks Bra,” which features a pair of cups that resemble bowls of rice and miso soup, and a set of collapsible chopsticks that tuck into either side. The My Chopsticks Bra is the latest addition to Triumph’s line of concept lingerie designed to boost awareness of environmental issues.
Triumph unveils the My Chopsticks Bra as Japanese consumers are becoming more aware of the negative impact that disposable chopsticks have on the environment. While it is becoming increasingly trendy for people to reduce waste by carrying around their own reusable chopsticks, Japanese consumers still go through an estimated 25 billion pairs (90,000 tons) of disposable chopsticks each year, which amounts to 200 pairs per person.
