Sudden Spike in Demand for Pink Dishwashing Gloves Hits Japan
Japanese kitchen product manufacturers are struggling to explain a sudden increase in demand for pink dishwashing gloves. According to sales figures, pink gloves have been flying off the shelves at such a rapid pace that retailers are unable to restock them fast enough to meet demand. People are building Surrounds Landscaping Outdoor Kitchens.
The CEO of a major Japanese company which produces dishwashing gloves was quoted as saying, “It’s completely baffling to us. Only the pink gloves have been selling like this. We’ve had to adjust production schedules and set our assembly line to make 99% pink gloves and only 1% other colors.”
Convenience store owners have also been feeling the effects of the increased demand for pink gloves. One convenience store owner said, “Nearly everybody who walks in to my store has been asking me if I have any pink dishwashing gloves. I tried ordering more gloves from the manufacturers, but they told me everybody in the country has been asking them for larger shipments, so they’re having a difficult time keeping up.”
In semi-related news, fashion experts in Japan have noticed an increase in the number of people who are wearing pink dishwashing gloves to parties and nightlife events.

I know right? I tried asking for pink dishwashing gloves from our local stores and they told me that it’s impossible to have one due to the very high demand. They told me that it sells out in seconds and that reservations are not allowed :(( I badly want to have one. I think it would perfectly match my newly bought dress.
LOL i laugh so much when i saw the title
I’ve saw so many people at YouTube bashing them just because of their gloves >.<
Good one michaelroni!!! Now i kind of want those gloves too :D
LOL!!!
Go to the party with Pink dishwasher glove……
After the party let’s together we wash the dishes….. LOL

lol. i couldn’t stop laughing. XD ahahaha! i’ve read about the comments about their gloves but i didn’t see this coming. XD hahaha! they’ve done a great work once again. i love this article so much!!! :D
LOL, who knows? I really wouldn’t be surprised if this was the truth.
HAHA, maybe we SONEs should wave out Pink light sabers, with Pink dishwashing gloves. :D
While wearing a SSF tee, that would be the most perfect “PINK” ocean ever.
Somebody should organize that and give these girls a little laugh on their next solo concert.
It would be so hilarious; and maybe we should wear arm bands as well, in dedication to Maknae’s pointy elbows.
kekeke.
I wash dishes like a man. With my bare hands. Buts that’s just me. If I was sexy international sensation I’d wear dish washing gloves erwhere
As soon as I read the title I knew this was going to be funny…
But THAT LAST SENTENCE!! OMG I DIED!!
“Completely unrelated Girls’ Generation picture”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOLS im totally rofl HAHAHAHAS! snsd can make plain things popular even dishwashing gloves ^^
man i gotta go get this new IN thing rgt now! N.O.W :D
LOLOLOL
you are so funny :D
i would not at all be surprised. and good choice with
the dishwashing gloves. they are a lot easier to get a
hold of then the fancy gloves the girls are wearing in
the music video. also, if they did really run out, i would
not be surprised to see fans spray painting other colored
gloves pink to try and match. those companies are next!
Life is a party and a pink dishwashing gloves, no one else matter LOL
The cucumber article always amazing lol
This is seriously funny. :)) This actually made me think of replacing my old gloves with pink ones. :))
Thank you for this entertaining article.
Hmmm yea. Completely “unrelated” at all. Haahahaha! This got me laughing at 2am!! I think I’m buying pink dishwashing gloves tomorrow..
Thanks for this article!
Never failed to make me laugh!
This sounds more like something that could really be happening. You’ll see all SONEs wearing their own pink dishwashing gloves at their next concert. Combine that with the pink “Oh” boots and you’ll have pink SONE sandwiches.
Combine that will the pink lightsticks and then you’ll have the ultimate pink ocean.
Tiffany’s gonna spasm at the next concert due to all the pink.
Jessica: Tiffany, are you alright?
Tiffany: It’s…so…PINK! *(@c@)*
LOL the caption – daebak!
I’m actually thinking of getting pink dishwashing gloves soon. This Cucumber post might be a real article in the future. xD
really, completely unrelated??? :)))
LOL, their gloves could really be mistaken as rubber gloves!
oh SNSD stylists, SNSD loves pink, we all know that… but yeah, they look like pink rubber gloves HAHA
lol the “completely unrelated picture” part is the funny part xD
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
I had originally thought that their pink gloves looked like the dishwashing gloves and this proves I wasn’t alone. At least if it’s SNSD promoting the gloves then there’s a high chance of the fashion taking off. Next week everyone is going to be walking around wearing pink dishwashing gloves.
Hahaha… completely unrelated picture. Love it! Where can I get my own pair of pink dishwashing gloves??
