This machine’s purpose is to check whether you’re stressed or not… and frankly I have great doubts on the use of such a device. When I’m stressed, I just yell at everybody and I binge on chocolate, and that’s how people around me know that I’m stressed, it’s easy to detect these 2 signs. In any case, this Cocoro Meter by a company called Nipro is a device to measure whether someone is stressed.

So how does it work? Well, you put the tester in your mouth and after that you feed it to the little machine that will indicate your level of stress. I pity the machine after a hefty dinner with lots of alcohol… but anyway, it could be the ideal tool for a young executive who wants to know whether he’s stressed or not (as if you don’t feel that… but anyway). Hmmm, I just thought of something: why don’t we have a contest for the highest stress level? First price would be an ulcer or something similar…
