The world of gaming has seen no shortage of accessories offering players different ways to experience their favorite games. Devices like headsets allow greater immersion in a game, while alternate controllers like racing wheels and flight sticks offer unique control schemes to enhance different genres of games. Japan has been a hotbed for some of the weirdest and wildest ideas for accessories and B´full recently released one giving gamers an easy way to snack and play.
Gaming accessories provide many ways for players to enhance or accentuate their own experience with a game. The early years of the gaming industry saw plenty of companies throw their hats into the ring with gaming accessories like hands-free controllers and even sewing machines. Japanese company B'full's newest release gives players a unique way to chow down on snacks while enjoying their favorite game, all at the palm of their hands.

B'full's newest product is called the "Gaming Chopsticks Holder" and functions just like it sounds. The small holster fits between a player's fingers while holding a controller and gives the player quick access to a pair of chopsticks, allowing the player to keep their hands clean while gaming. The device is made of lightweight acrylic resin, only weighing 6 grams, making it easy for players to hold up just by pinching it with their fingers. The portable chopstick holster is priced at 1210 yen after taxes, equating to roughly $11.02 in US dollars.
Food products have often collaborated with the gaming industry for promotions and accessories over the years. Products like Mountain Dew's Game Fuel frequently create ad campaigns aimed at gamers and big franchises like Halo, and Mario often features as promotional toys at fast-food restaurants. Taco Bell, in particular, often partners with Microsoft to host giveaways of the Xbox consoles.
Gaming accessories have come in all shapes and sizes over the gaming industry's long history. Past the plethora of alternate designs for standard controllers, companies have released countless different devices to allow players to enhance their gaming experience. Cheating devices are a staple of the world of gaming with devices like Game Shark and Game Genie were household names in their heyday. From easier snacking to immersive experiences, no matter what a gamer is looking for, there is likely a gaming accessory to suit their need.
B'full's Gaming Chopsticks Holder can be purchased through its website for shipping within Japan.
