Meet Pushya and Pullya by Paul Grader. These [twin robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-bot) were designed to act as the conscience you can see, without telling you they do it.

Pushya (black) is the misbehaving one who acts on direct impulse and usually causes a ruckus. Pullya (white) acts like an angel with your best interests in mind and happens to help out a lot.

However different they seem, they do both equally contribute to your life. If Pushya steals all the [junk food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airheads-decoy-boy), Pullya will make a healthy dinner, ensuring that you’re eating right.

They operate on their own free will, so trying to tame these two is a complete waste of time, however, they do seem like a blast (I wish they were real… [lonely person cure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ourobot)).
