Gadget Spotlight: The Dumbbell Phone
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new gadget and this was too funny not to blog about. So OoCFR readers, I give you the dumbbell phone. That’s right – you can tone your arms during phone calls at the office!
I’m not sure these are/were actually ever for sale. From the looks of this picture, it seems as though they likely went out of production around 1989.
This awesome gadget comes to you from the world of Chindogu, a term for useless Japanese inventions. It was the first I’ve heard of it, but moving forward, you better believe I’ll be on the lookout for weight loss/diet tips in this realm.
And not to be cruel to the model, but she kinda looks like she has a double chin. I’m thinking the gadget doesn’t exactly work
