In Japan, in a soap manufacturing company the soap bars were made,
then wrapped in a wrapper automatically on an assembly conveyer belt
and finally packed in cartons...

Many a times it happened that the wrapping machine wrapped without soap. i.e. you had an empty packet without soap.

To rectify this problem the Japanese company bought an X-ray scanner from the US for $60,000 to check on the assembly line whether the wrapper had soap or not..

A similar problem happened at Lifeboy soaps, in Pakistan.. Guess what they did????

They bought a pedestal fan costing around 15 $ and placed it on the edge of the assembly line.
The empty wrappers, without soaps just blew away!!!



And You Say Japanese are Advanced in Technology.

Reminds me of finding a solution to being able to write in zero-gravity. The US scientists spent thousands in research and development and came up with the Space Pen, which could write at any angle, including upside-down. Amazing technology at the time.
What did the Russian cosmonauts take into space? A pencil !!

Unfortunately just Cold War propaganda; NASA used pencils too, until Apollo 7. And very soon after the cosmonauts were issued with them too.
