In this video, Melissa shows us how to get rid of excess beer foam using olive oil. This is one of the tricks from my book, Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan, which comes out next month.
You guys are welcome to submit videos of you and your friends trying out tricks from the book--or even ones that you know yourselves! Just email them to me and I'll put them up on this blog.

Nice urazawa again, but anyone who has ever been to a fratparty in America probably knows a similar trick ;P

If your book does well, I'd like to formally request a 'baka gaijin' version. This would help curb my desire to e-stalk you with with stupid questions.
Here's a peek at your awful target audience:

You do not need to spoon in a relatively huge amount of oil. It will work with a microscopic amount of oil. With beer or soda, just discreetly rub your forehead or side of your nose with your finger to pick up a little face-oil and nonchalantly swirl that finger once around in the foam and the bubbles will quickly break up.
