MisoSoupDesign MisoSoupDesign's Anti-Loneliness Ramen Bowl features a built-in iPhone dock.

This ramen bowl features a built-in iPhone dock. The genius of our civilization beams forth with the brightness of a million laser pointers.

Appropriately called the Anti-Loneliness Ramen Bowl, this miracle of modern-day problem solving lets you keep in contact with friends and loved ones while you eat. The angle of the dock seems like your iPhone’s front-facing camera would be perfectly positioned for video chatting. “Those noodles look so up-close and lifelike as you shove them into your mouth!” squeals your long-distance girlfriend. “And your ability to talk and chew at the same time makes you a more desirable mate than other suitors – even those in the same city as I!”

We have been blessed with the existence of the bowl thanks to MisoSoupDesign, though there’s no word on pricing or availability other than a Facebook photo from late November stating that the product “will be available soon.” It’s also unclear if the bowl could be used for eating food other than ramen, but a bowl’s a bowl, right? Don’t boss me.
