Nissin created a plastic rice model to get your coworkers to shut up. The item, Onigiri, is supposed to be placed on your desk or lunchroom table. The item can prevent coworkers from commenting on your meal, or asking personal questions about how you should eat more. Nissin wants to help you avoid all the unnecessary “you should eat more” questions with the Onigiri, as SoraNews24 detailed:
Nissin calls the item the Onigiri, but rather than writing it in Japanese as おんぎり, with お signifying respect to the rice, it’s instead written as 置にぎり. 置 means “put” or “place,” and you’re supposed to put the model on your desk or lunchroom table to prevent coworkers from commenting on how much you are, or rather aren’t, eating by making your meal look bigger than it actually is, sparing you from comments and personal questions like:
● “Is that all you’re eating for lunch?”
● “Are you doing a low-carb diet or something?”
● “You should eat more!”
