Be careful of the Cup Shitsuki USB Humidifier: this design isn't a real cup of noodles. This inedible look-alike design is actually a humidifier. Just like the real version of instant noodle soup, you pour some water into the cup, wait three minutes and the humidifier kicks in.

You can also easily plug in the Cup Shitsuki USB Humidifer into a [USB port](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humidifier-and-wireless-charger) -- people will never know that it's not real.

**Implications** - Products that mimic other products without actually being what they look like are highly effective in the consumer market today. Companies who are stressing to find new product designs should consider re-modeling existing products.
