I'm so disappointed. I expected an actual robotic arm that you could mount on your shoulder and it would feed you chips when activated or something. This looks more like glorified tweezers :(

It's plastic...
Cybernetic Organism: Containing both biological and artifical values ie.a nervous system encased in metal, a living skin over metallic body

Mechanical: Of or relating to machines or tools.

This is a tool, doesn't matter what it's made from, it's not biological, therefore not a cyborg arm. It's not even cybernetic, because that refers more correctly to artificial intelligence.

mb I thought it had to be metal to be mechanical... for some reason...

OP is a liar. Arm doesn't eat potato chips, it only grabs them. I wanted to see an arm eat potato chips, you wasted my time.

That little grievance out of the way, is anyone else remembering the extraordinarily surreal Japanese commercial Joey did in Friends? Because the commerical for this is even weirder. What the hell is that badly dubbed American doing there?

Anywho, I don't tend to eat when I game, so I don't need this, but it still looks like it might be handy, for something, maybe...
This.

Also: YAY! I simply hate greasy fingers and I've been looking for something like that.

So when do you think one guy is gonna be too lazy to wack it, so he makes a shameless rip-off of this thing?

No?

Now, where was I...
Oh, right.

That'd be helpful when I play games and CAN'T TAKE MY HAD OFF THE CONTROLLER FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS!
Greasy hands my ass.
DAMN IT! Every time I'm going to put up a video someone beats me to it. Oh well, still awesome.

Would I ever buy it? No. Do I, however, find it annoying when I get ship salt/seasoning/etc. on my fingers and would this device likely solve the problem? Yes.

How does it do with hot pockets? I wouldnt worry so much about chips, but this thing would be perfect for cheetos. I absolutely hate cheesy fingers, and there's no easy and clean way to get rid of them.

hmmm, I will stick to my latex gloves to bypass this problem, my mighty bag of crisps shall never be touched with such devices.

I suppose it will have a use somewhere...though, its a step in right direction at least!

Protip: a pair of plastic tweezers would probably work just as well.

It will come for you in the night.

How long before the Japanese turn it into a sex toy is anybody's guess, but I'm putting my money on that they already have.
