If you've ever worked at a McDonald's (raise your hand, there's nothing to be ashamed of) you know the deep-fryer gets nasty quickly, as all that gunk builds up on the bottom.

Well, this has to be the weirdest design solution we've ever seen for that particular problem: A deep-fryer with a goldfish cleaning solution. Goldfish, as in actual fish.

You know how oil and water doesn't mix? Oil sits on top. So this guy in Japan (sorry, name unavailable) figured out he could make a deep-fryer with fish in the bottom, and they could eat all the fried food flakes that drift down to the bottom. It's good for him, and bad for those goldfishes' cholesterol levels.
