The dedicated device "Smart Potato Chips" that allows you to eat "Potato Chips" without getting your hands dirty will be released on June 29th. The estimated price is 1,280 yen (excluding tax).

A collaboration product of Takara Tomy Arts and Calbee. This is a renewal of the hit "Potato Hand" magic hand for potato chips released in 2010.

This time, we developed the concept of "a touch pen that can eat potato chips" against the background that more and more people are eating snacks with chopsticks so as not to stain the screen of the smartphone. The function of a touch pen for smartphones has been added to the "magic hand" that picks up potato chips.


When you press the button on the main unit, the "fingers" attached to the tip close and pinch the potato chips. A clutch mechanism is built into the main body to prevent the potato chips from cracking at this time.


Also, if you slide forward while pressing the button on the main unit, your "fingers" will move left and right, making a gesture to remove the powder on your fingertips.


After eating, turn the main body upside down and grab the metal plates on the left and right, and you can operate the smartphone as it is with the touch pen part on the bottom.


The design is based on the image of a package of four popular flavors of Calbee potato chips. The main body size is W37 x H178 x D40 mm. It is sold at general stores, mass retailers, and online stores nationwide.
