    Hahaha japan is first when it comes to hilarity relating to bins XD

  2. Droll not Troll says:

    So with what can we expect to see this bin laden?

  3. JW says:

    With hands! It’s a hand drier (and a really effective type, too)

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Rly? Making a hand dryer that looks like a rubbish bin is like making a rubbish bin that looks like a toilet. You know it can only end badly!

    • Delta Sierra says:

      Is it really a hand dryer? The air-blowing type? Why does it point upwards? That would really get up my nose.

      • фдуч_шяь says:

        No, not upwards. See these small round holes? The air is coming out of them horizontally in thin flows with great pressure. You put your hands inside and It literally blows off the moisture off of them. I’ve seen these at the airport in Nagoya. They really are very effective and quick. Much better than the regular hand dryers:)

        • billthebook says:

          They also have them at Mayday Hospital in Croydon, South London. They are really quick but you need industrial quality ear protectors because they are so loud.

          • in_a_box says:

            Lol, their is a version made by Toto that is actually quite quiet.

            • frollard says:

              Yeah – they dont DRY your hands, they literally ‘physically remove’ the water with shear force :D

              dry can has a blast!

              • Peter says:

                They have these at SFO airport too – the ones there are open on the side so they don’t look like trash bins though.

                • Reece400 says:

                  Yes, they have similar ones at a casino here, but they are mounted on the wall and you put your hands in horizontally. very effective.

          • keanie says:

            holy god that is exactly where I saw one of these..

            I believe this is a different brand though, probably the mistubishi jet towel

            the ones in mayday are dyson airblade

        • I'm the chief says:

          if it’s low enough, it can work for your arse also.

  4. Garynuman says:

    this is a hand dryer, haven’t you seen them before? this sucks

  5. fyi says:

    …Where did the Japanese get the term “Air Towel”? And why is that translated as “Flush Towel”?

  6. Failtruza says:

    The funny thing is that the Japanese name “eaa taoru” is just a phonetic transliteration of air towel, why would they re-translate it to english and change the original word? which was always an english word… (air)

    • JohnB says:

      There air many possible reasons.

      • buckinarut says:

        They tried to come up with a Japanese term, but they got winded. Apparently, this language mess when confronted with a new term ain’t real breezy to do. Actually, it really blows.

        • JohnB says:

          Is it meat blown out or pork pulling a wind?

          • aaronls says:

            This is the device they use for the pork pulled wind. You would think they would use pork for pork pulled wind, but there’s no pork involved. It’s just one of those things like buffalo wings, where buffalos have nothing really to do with the wings.

  7. Delta Sierra says:

    I wonder if he felt flush with success when he finished writing the translation.

  8. Hebime says:

    I guarantee this was somebody who took private English lessons, and probably from an Australian. That’s about the only way they would learn to put ‘chuck’ and ‘rubbish ‘ in the same sentence.
    Bonus teacher fail! lol

  9. Weegee says:

    does he mean ”Norris”?

  10. Mark. Gooley says:

    There are super-high-pressure hand dryers e.g. at the Convention Center in Dayton, Ohio, but they’re not of this design and they don’t seem to shear the droplets off, just blow hard enough to make the skin on the back of your hands deform temporarily. Very different design and I have seen them nowhere else.

  11. Boux says:

    エアータオルです
    “It’s an air towel”

    well, thats why there are no towels, it’s an air towel. a place to air dry your hands. yeh they got that in japan
