Air Conditioning For Your Skin?

Yes, but only in Japan.  And this is the country that has provided some pretty creepy human robots, yikes!  I came across this product, which may be their first practical one.  Hokkuyoku Monogatari (say that ten times fast) which translates as "Tales of the North Pole"  is the first self-cooling product that can be directly applied to the surface of the skin.  And as you can see, it can either come in foam form (which looks like wearable cotton candy) and a form that is still foam, but it pop or sizzles (?) on the skin which provides a cooling sensation.  I would just hate to think of the poor sap who would mistake this for shaving cream, but on the other hand, it could work as an aftershave, but I doubt we'll see it stateside.  So nutty!
