Sparknon X Man, is a doll that discharges static electricity
  Are you sick of suffering the effects of static electricity? When the air is really dry, static electricity starts to build up inside your body as your clothes rub up against the car seat, or your shoes create friction from walking on carpeting... etc. If you then touch objects that are conducive to energy, such as a doorknob or a car door, there’s a burst of discharge that produces a disturbing shock.

Now you can relax because you won’t get any more of these nasty shocks.

  Blue body full of curves, a single horn on its head, and an overall demeanor that’s very laid back. That’s Qoo, the mascot for a line of soft drinks with the same name made by Coca Cola Japan.

This soft drink first came out 10 years ago, but it’s still considered a novelty because Coca Cola has launched new flavors (peach, orange and apple) and has taken great care to select quality ingredients in an effort to obtain better flavors.
