After six years of work, French inventor Christian Poincheval, aged 65 years of age, has invented a pill that makes farts smell like roses, chocolate, mint or whatever other flavor you want.
The idea occured to the inventor after a rather copious dinner with friends. “We had just come back from Switzerland and we were eating a lot with our friends and the smell from the flatulence was really terrible,” he says. “When we were vegetarian, we noticed that our gas smelled like vegetables, like the odor from a cow pat, but when we started eating meat the smell of the flatulence became much disagreeable. We couldn’t breathe so me and my friends decided something had to be done. We needed to invent something that made them smell nicer.”
Apart from making flatulence smell like roses, the pills also ease digestion as they are made of 100% natural ingredients such as fennel, seaweed and blueberries. They are sold on the internet for 18.86 euros and have been approved by French health authorities.
But do they really work? Here’s one testimony
