Flower power

With cute being the characteristic that most Japanese consumers seem to crave, fire engine maker Morita Corporation would appear to have found itself a niche in the formerly frumpy world of kitchen-based fire extinguishers — cleverly coming up with this unique ‘fire fighting flower’.

The extinguisher’s ‘petals’ are used to put out fires in pans, and to ensure it is always ready at hand there is a magnet on the ‘stem’, allowing it to be kept on the refrigerator — providing of course there is space amongst the probable plethora of similarly attached Hello Kitty goods.

And like all Japanese products worth its salt, the device comes with relatively comical cartoon-like instructions.
