Eraser with 28 Corners
The guy who designed this eraser is a genius! We all know that it's more fun and effective to use the corners, but most simple rectangular erasers only have four EIGHT at best, and even less once they're used. Well, this plastic eraser, aptly named kadokeshi (corner eraser), has 28 edges! It's distributed by classic stationary maker Kokuyo, and won a Good Design Award in 2003.

a rectangular eraser would have eight corners unless it was two dimensional.

I don't wish to be an assh*le, but if you took a normal rectangular eraser and cut it into five pieces, you'd have 32> corners, and even more gummy stuff to erase with.
Still, funky look & cute packaging.
