Bamboo of course is a lot more environmentally friendly since it requires little water to grow and regenerate quickly once harvested.
Hilarious!

Wow. Why couldn't we just store them in our pants/shirt pocket? That, to me, seems easier than risking a wardrobe "malfunction" during retrieval of eating utensils. Additionally, won't men be jealous that there is not yet an undergarment on the market where they can store their chopsticks? It doesn't seem quite fair, really.
The pantomime of eating from the rice bowl cracks me up.
After repeated close examination, I have concluded that the presence of the chopsticks doesn't really make much of a difference cleavage-wise, though.
What does a sexy, scantily-clad girl posed in front of a car actually have to do with the car? Nothing, but it does help sell cars.
If a cute young thing in a bikini with a silly top helps sell the idea of reusable chopsticks that are convenient enough to be almost literally tucked away anywhere, then more power to them.
Add a clip to the side like a ball-point pen, and guys might carry them in their shirt pockets. Or pocket protectors. :)
Andrew, I'm sure you know this is a problem in Taiwan too. My girlfriend and I carry metal chopsticks around with us everywhere we go, and a lot of friends do to.
There are two things you might find interesting. One, is that the chopsticks you get in restaurants are sometimes RECYCLED:

Also, a lot of these chopsticks contain very harmful chemicals:

There are so many reasons to get your own pair of chopsticks when you're in Asia. Not only is there no reason to cut down all of those trees, but you don't know where those things you're sticking in your mouth came from.
One interesting thing I noticed when I spent a week in South Korea: I don't think I ever once used a pair of disposable, wooden chopsticks. Nearly every restaurant we went to had a little wooden box of metal utensils on every table.

The whole thing is just a marketing gimmick by Triumph to get press coverage, just to get the "we sell lingerie" message out. Nobody is going to wear this - it's "concept lingerie" and "there are no plans to put the bra on sale".
do we get to eat out of the bra cup?
But I'm not eating with anything I store that close to my armpit.
Are the gold encrusted polished bones of children. I'll never throw them away.
So how many plastic knives, forks and spoons do we throw away in this country every day?
...is the first line of this post. Wonton display? Shameful. ;-)
