That’s right. In my few trips to Japan, I have noticed that they have a huge scientific edge on us in the area of making up ridiculous things that supposedly make you healthier. Or your face smoother, but in this case, it’s healthier.

The Rhythmi-Kamu helps teach you to chew more. Because chewing makes you healthy. The iPhone app can record how often and how hard you chew and suggest improvements. You can even control your music player with your chewing, but that’s experimental.

The video is cute though, and that’s what matters.

No explanation of people who can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
