My sister and I discuss world events on a regular basis.. Tonight she referenced the ‘bagel in the head’ operation that people in Japan are getting. I was stunned, aghast..confused. Amazed.
Yes, and I realized, I am about a year behind the times. Hell, even Anderson Cooper put this on his Ridiculist in 2012.. I missed it all.
Here is the predication: A new trend in Japan is to have a bagel head surgery. And people are so dedicated to the trend that they get a two-hour saline drip to implant the bagel-shaped welts on their foreheads.. It was pioneered in Canada but made popular in Japan–at least that is what Wikipedia taught me tonight.
But it’s not a permanent wheat-like appearance. A day after the process, your head does in fact go back to normal.
Some people get one bagel. Some get two.
I have been perusing Google images for a bit this evening and I realize that I completely missed this inane trend.
But it did slightly make me hungry for Panera Bread.
So is this still a trend? Or have the bagels soured?
Inquiring bagel heads want to know.
