A Chinese barbecue restaurant has gained internet attention for selling seasoned skewers as a low-calorie snack. Instead of spearing chunks of meat, these wooden skewers are seasoned with spices, chili, and spring onions to offer BBQ flavors in a calorie-free treat. Mr. Ma of southern China was inspired when he noticed women were visiting his shop late at night, but wouldn’t order because they were worried about their weight. Seasoned wooden skewers are sold in batches of 50 for about $1.40 dollars. (Oddity Central)
