This cute little snowman survived a 8552km journey from Japan to the desert of Bahrain without any refrigeration. The only things keeping him alive in his cardboard box were some new vacuum insulation panels designed by Panasonic.
“It ain’t a nice road but at the end of the day, you don’t expect someone to nick your snowman, know what I mean?” It may sound like a line from a Guy Ritchie film, but it really did happen.
Snowman purists may object, because this smirking seasonal statue, which stands just one fifth as wide as a human hair, is actually built from tin and titanium, not fresh powder. But still!
