In an effort to save energy, Japan's government set up Coolbiz and Warmbiz campaigns to encourage businesses and workers to dress appropriately for the season: no neckties for men in summer, for example. I doubt they expected The Warmbiz Heated Bra to come along, but we're glad nonetheless!

The "My Chopsticks" Bra is a tasty little treat that features miso soup and rice bowl cups separated by a chopstick rest. Tucked into one shoulder strap is a pair of collapsible, portable chopsticks.
