This Tokyo Marathoner Will Wear a Tomato-Loaded Robo-Backpack
The wearable veggie-bot Tomatan will demonstrate how to fuel up on lycopene while on the go.
Skeptics of wearable technology, prepare for conversion: The world's first tomato-dispensing backpack is upon us.
Schemed up by the Japanese tomato-product manufacturer Kagome, the 17.6 pound, humanoid veggie-bot Tomatan will make its public debut this weekend. It'll ride upon the sturdy, lycopene-loving shoulders of company employee Shigenori Suzuki as he runs the Toyko Marathon.
