Japanese design shop Sugai World has released their first product, which are mustache-shaped sticky notes. The sticky notes are a fresh and classy twist on the boring blocks of notepads you're used to.
The Sugai World mustache-shaped sticky notes will make your notes stick out in a clutter and will be good for when needing to remember something important, as it's not everyday you see a mustache sticky note in the office of course.
Implications - TOO SPECIFIC. DISCUSS MEMES, HOW THEY BEGIN, AND WHY THEY'RE IMPORTANT.
While actual moustaches aren't as common, fake moustaches have become the subject of unanticipated attention and can be found decorating anything that resembles a face. Success is very likely for businesses that are quick to incorporate this growing meme into their products, whether they produce iPhone attachments or customized glassware.
