Lightweight Paper Scale

Here's a featherlight concept for all ye heavyweights. Duck Image Studio has designed the ultimate tool for weight watchers--ultrathin flexible scales you get to pack away in your tote bag. This clever idea uses paper electronic technology to create a pressure-sensing sheet that relays information to an e-paper display. It's apparently waterproof, easy to clean, and equally easy to roll up for storage.

We're not sure, though, if the designers intentionally intended for your weight to be depicted in such large flashing numerals for the world to see, as if to say deal with the weight, or lay off that Krispy Kreme. Yikes.
