All kind of crazy wearables have been presented lately – some of them werenice PR campaigns but some of them launched with serious intentions. Here is our ranking of wearable craziness:

9. Also for Tokyo Marathon Japanese food manufacturer Kagome invented a wearable tomato dispenser for runners. The device allows runners to consume up to seven tomatoes on the go at the click of a button…

8. WHISKAS Australia was recently showing off CATSTACAM which is basically a wearable camera for cats and apparently a “social way to better understand cats”.
