Keep your iPhone finger warm in the winter? There's a sausage for that.

South Korea’s CJ Corporation recently noticed a wintertime spike in the sales of some of their frozen sausage products. Apparently, the eager buyers were iPhone users trying to keep their fingers warm.

The company says South Korean sausageophiles discovered that the product in question had an electrostatic profile similar to that of a human finger, which made it a perfect meat-stylus for gloved outdoor iPhone use in cold weather. As a bonus, users would presumably have a tasty snack for the train ride home.

It sounds a tad ridiculous, until you read the Google Translate version of the Korean news report. According to the story, “Max rods instead of your fingers if you use the pen to the increasing number rods, Max is under the spotlight's netizens.” (Well, of course. Why didn’t we think of that?)

According to a person described as the company’s “maekseubong gimminseop manager of brand managers,” the gang at CJ couldn’t be happier with their unexpected sales windfall. “This just fits the iPhone user base, while the poisonous celebrity, Max is on the stick.”

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
