ARTICLE: Odd News: South Koreans use ‘meat stylus’ instead of fingers

Korean sausage stylus

Wear gloves on your commute to work and find it challenging to use your iPhone’s capacitive screen?  No worries, as the “meat stylus” is here to save the day – in South Korea, at least.

No, this is not a joke – apparently, the snack sausage sold by CJ Corporation are electrostatically compatible with capacitive touchscreens.  For the cold seasons, it makes for a great (and popular) way to use the device while on the go.  What’s more, sausage sales are soaring (no, I really am serious).  Hey, if it works and I lived in South Korea, I’d buy one.
