Lays, the world’s bestselling potato chip brand, recently launched a
limited edition miniature washing machine for oily fingertips.
Let’s face it, there are few things in the world more addictive than
potato chips, but if there’s one thing everyone hates about them – apart
from getting us fat – it’s the grease they leave on our fingertips. You
need to have napkins on hand, lick your fingertips (yuck!), or get up
from that comfortable sofa and wash up when you’re done stuffing your
face. Well, thanks to a rather ingenious marketing campaign, potato chip
enthusiasts now have another option – a miniature washing machine
designed specifically to clean oily fingertips.

It sounds dumb, and it kind of is. After all, who needs a fingertip
washing machine? But the cool factor is definitely there as well. The
concept itself is interesting, but the fact that they made this
contraption look like a classic washing machine was pure genius.
All you have to do is press the on/off button, put your oily fingertip
into the machine through the laundry door and wait for the magic to
happen. Although not as advanced as a modern watching machine, this
little thing features a clever induction system that sprays atomized
alcohol when it detects your fingertip inside the washing machine. The
alcohol comes from a refillable tank at the bottom of the mini washing
machine.

The Lays fingertip washing machine measures 15 cm in height, 11 cm in
width, and features a USB Type-C charging port.
The fingertip washing machine recently went viral on Japanese social
media, with countless people expressing interest in it, either as a
collector’s item, or just for fun. Unfortunately, only five such devices
will be made available, and not commercially, but through a special
lottery. It’s unclear whether people from outside Japan can participate
for a chance to win one.
