Had enough of pesky commercials and emails and bill boards and texts? Hold on to your pants (literally) because the toilet paper revolution is just beginning. Soy ink based advertising right on the sheets that wipe you off is coming to a stall near you. From laser eye correction to discount on sandwiches at the store next door to a haircut salon overhead (to the location of the stall) are all seeking your undivided attention and this is the way to go.

Hey its biodegradable piece of news so think how green its going to be? Trashy news just found a new calling.

Print them promotions right on that steak as it comes out and sear that in the person's memory. Pepto Bismol ads on that spicy crepe sure would go a long way to encourage just in time advice?
Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
Marketing people I can see salivating at the prospect (the fast food's tasteless anyway, so why not add some spice through ads..
