Okay, I heard about this one on the radio yesterday. As far as I could tell, they were being serious. Apparently, you can get some sort of a plug in air freshener that will also connect to your cell phone. You purchase a scent-download and the phone transfers a code to your air freshener. The air freshener mixes some chemicals according to the code and then your scent is produced.
According to the report I heard, this is new experimental technology that is just hitting the market in (where else) Japan. I did a little digging on the internet (and by little I mean I looked at two pages of search results) and I could only find this article in The Onion; and, as we all know, The Onion is just slightly more factual than The Weekly World News. I know our Beer Buddy Canucklehead will be interested in the bacon ring-scent; but then again, who wouldn’t be?
