Chikuno Cubes
01Jul09
I saw these Chikuno cubes a while back and thought that they were one of the coolest things I had seen in a long time. Amazing design for what is usually an everyday product. Each 2″ cube is made from Bamboo charcoal and has a micro honeycomb structure that gives it a surface area equivalent to four football fields. It acts as a natural deodorant sucking up nasty smells from small spaces like refrigerators or closets. I’d love to have one in my fridge just because it looks so good.
Has anyone actually bought one of these? I’d love to hear some feedback.
Available from Charles and Marie today only for $28, or from Delight for the same price.

I haven’t tried any of the various charcoal ‘deodorizers’ on the market, but I’d like to. I think we need one of these next to the litterbox.
Those would be very small football fields.
There appear to be 22 holes across, and 26 rows down. So let’s say the diameter of the hole is 2/22″. Surface area is 2″ * (2/22)* pi = 0.57 sq inches for each hollow tube. let’s round up: 1 sq inch. Of which there are appox = 22* 26 = 572, rounding up to 600. So we have 600 sq inches. each outside face is 2*2 = 4 sq inches, and there are 6 faces, so 24 sq inches. ie 624 sq inches. about 4.5 sq feet.
I wondered about that statement as well. Maybe they are ant football fields. :rofl
