Chindogu

Chindogu is the Japanese art of useless inventions. You make a chindogu by combining two useful items. These inventions are silly gadgets that solve everyday problems. For example, a helmet with toilet paper on top so that you always have some available. Another one is a glue stick, but instead of glue, it has butter. Now you can easily apply butter to your bread.

Hoe maak je volgens de tekst een chindogu?

1. Door twee zinloze dingen te combineren
2. Door twee nuttige dingen te combineren
3. Door boter op je hoofd te zetten
4. Een helm met toilet papier
