When a Japanese company wants to sell a product, the normal thing to do is design a robot for it, whether that makes any sense or not. Food manufacturer Kagome wants to sell tomatoes as a healthy refreshing snack. This wearable robot will feed you up to seven regular tomatoes while you run mile after mile, carrying the 17-pound robot. Now wouldn’t it be easier to just carry a bag of tomatoes?
Well, the robot is a one-off publicity stunt, as they won’t be mass-producing them. However, the news about it highlights the food company, which will be handing out tomatoes to runners at the 2015 Tokyo Marathon.
