Scrap the puchipuchi pudding. I want this. Takara Tomy's Sakasa Master Japan Voice Recorder (1,344 yen, $14.60) promises even more crazy, pointless fun for collectors of all things chindogu (un-useful gadgets) from Japan.

This one plays back what you've recorded in reverse. That's right. Who cares if nobody ever gets you? We don't even get this! But hey, it's all in good fun, especially when you can mix your own subliminal messages into the background of piped-in music, like this one to your boss: !esiar a em eviG. (Give me a raise!)

maybe I could record my favorite Beatles songs with this, then play them backwards...
