Ask and You Shall Relieve

Unazukin Dilemma Dolls

Shave or wax? Rent or buy? Flat or sparkling? Boys or girls?

So many choices, so little time; they say a problem shared is a problem halved, but who wants to hear your dilemmas when they’re trying to solve their own?

You could consult your parents and do the opposite of what they say. You could seek the (rather costly) advice of a therapist.

Or you could ask a Unazukin doll.

This little ‘nodding’ friend can fit in your pocket or sit on your desk. Every time you face a quandary, just press the button on its bottom and it’ll give you an answer: a nod up and down means yes; a shake of the head means no.

Unlike a partner or a pet, the Unazukin requires little in return; if you don’t speak to it after three minutes, it will conveniently nod off. But it’ll be there day and night to help with life’s big questions.

Speaking of which, in case you were wondering: we say boys and girls.
