Well ain't that the POOP...

Kaneko Sangyo Co. said Tuesday it has developed a portable toilet for use inside a car that totally conceals the user with a curtain.

The new "Kurumarukun" toilet presented the same day at a trade fair in Nagoya is the first ever model of its kind small enough to fit inside a car, the Aichi Prefecture-based manufacturer of plastic car accessories said.

"The commode will come in handy during major disasters such as earthquakes or when you are on outings or caught in a traffic jam," said a company official.

Sales will begin online on Nov. 15 at a price of 4,725 yen.

Users are required to assemble a cardboard toilet bowl and to fit a water-absorbent sheet inside. The toilet, to be set up on the back seat of a car, comes with a curtain large enough to totally conceal users and a plastic bag to tightly seal human waste for later disposal.

Prior to assembly, the product measures 60 centimeters long, 38 cm wide and 2.5 cm thick and can be carried inside a suitcase, the company said.
