The Chiko Roll is one of Australia‘s most enduring icons, and it simply doesn’t get enough airtime in 2016. The fried spring roll ripoff, which is stuffed with indeterminate ingredients but tastes so, so good, was a icon of 20th century Australia and it demands re-entry into the culture.
(For the record, we do actually know what is inside a chiko roll: it’s cabbage and barley, carrot, green beans, beef, beef tallow, wheat cereal, celery and onion. Yum as.)
For some reason, the producers of the Chiko Roll have identified a huge problem: everyone needs a third hand for successful Chiko eating while doing other important things, like driving a car. So, obviously, they’ve designed a disembodied hand you can stuff your roll into, because there is no need in 2016 too abstract to be fulfilled.
Watch the video, if you’re keen on a slice of 70s Australiana:
Presumably you could use for any kind of cylindrical food. i’m just spitballing here, but this could be as popular as the knife and fork in a decade. Count on it.
(Look, we’re not going to be the ones to make the obvious joke about this thing. We won’t. You can do that. If you want to make the joke that literally everyone is thinking about, that is absolutely your prerogative. Go on then. Make it.)
