3D Printed Lucky Golden Poo

Japan has the most kawaii fad of using golden turd charms as symbols of good luck, and here is your chance to get one for yourself. 

Animated short filmmaker Joaquin Baldwin takes a foray into Deuceland here with his 3D-printed Lucky Golden Poo. Though they may seem to stem from nothing but Baldwin's own toilet humor, golden turd charms are actually a popular fad and supposed bearer of good fortune in Japan.

Known there as Gold Unchi or Kin no Unko, the tradition emerged from a play on words. In Japanese the term unko means poop, but it also contains the sound oon, which means luck. Lucky poop. Ba-da-bing!

As for coating the turd in gold, I guess that's just to class it up a bit and communicate that poop bearers are not only lucky, but also a connoisseurs of the finer things in life.

Lucky Golden Poos are available in polished 24K gold-plated stainless steel, polished brass, or 22K gold-plated brass. In addition to the single pocket charm, Baldwin also sells LGP earrings, pendants, and cufflinks. These tiny charms are plated with real gold, and come either in a plain model, earrings (1.5mm hole), pendant (3.5mm hoop), or cufflinks.
