Napkin Shield

Chances are, you’ve been on a date before and looked very silly trying to impress your date while eating a greasy burger or burrito. Well now you can say goodbye to all of that embarrassing mess with the Liberation Napkin, created by the Japanese fast-food chain Freshness Burger.

The story behind it is actually pretty interesting: The chain couldn’t figure out why their burgers were only selling well with their male customers until they realized that in Japanese culture, it is considered rude for women to eat messy foods with their mouths uncovered. Thus came the liberation napkin, which allowed women to eat burgers to their heart’s content while being able to avoid social faux-pas!
