Tomatan’ Hands-Free Tomato Machine Set for Tokyo Marathon Debut
Tomatan’ Hands-Free Tomato Machine Set for Tokyo Marathon Debut – Publicity stunt, or the future of eating on the run? Japanese juice maker Kagome on Thursday unveiled the “Tomatan,” a hands-free tomato machine that will feature at this weekend’s Tokyo Marathon.
The device is a humanoid-looking backpack that can be loaded with six mid-sized tomatoes — enough, say the makers, to power runners through Saturday’s race. Kagome’s Shigenori Suzuki said he will don the device in the three-mile fun run on Saturday. “Tomatoes have lots of nutrition that combats fatigue,” he told the AFP news agency.
