In a time of rising concern over protection from North Korea, the South Korean private sector has set out to rival the spate of recent North Korean nuclear tests by offering the public a glimpse at their own destructive power. A leading South Korean technology company has released a new commercially available explosive device: the product really does rival the growing nuclear threat of their estranged northern counterparts, especially considering the added bonus of free fire-retardant gloves for every customer.

Of course, there are plenty of critics quick to complain about the hazards associated with owning such a device, but the product’s creators insist that the risk is far outweighed by the multifunctional nature of the item. In a recent interview, the South Korean manufacturers, Samsung, stated: ‘Not only does it spontaneously combust, it also has a great camera. Plus, you can check your emails, and even play colour switch. Basically, no other product on the market can compete the with the Galaxy Note 7.’
