The Heat Pad Thingy


WARNING: DO NOT EAT




The heat pad thingy, known in Japan as kairo, which roughly translates as "the heat pad thingy", is a pad of heat which heats up - rather like a hot thingy.

It's popular with people who want to warm up in winter, as well as those who wish to harm themselves.

It works rather like magic. Simply shake it, stick it on your body, and within minutes it will be generating enough heat to warm your nether regions, as well as any other regions that need warming.

Affixing directly to the skin is not advised. People who have done this and then fallen asleep have been known to catch fire, thereby becoming a little warmer than they had originally intended.


Don't don't don't don't - there should always be fabric between the skin and the heat pad thingy in order not to sizzle.


Many people have wondered how the heat pad thingy actually works. Well, if you open one up, it's not hard to see.....

So let's hear it for the heat pad thingy. Wonderful in winter. Pointless in summer. The heat pad thingy guarantees you'll never freeze your nuts off again (for god's sake don't stick one there).
