The inventor, Christian Poincheval, says this will make farts smell nice. Either that or it will really put us off chocolate. If you walk into a room and you smell chocolate you won't assume the person in there has been eating it - even if you notice some little brown smudges on the chair they're sitting on.
Smells can ruin things. I remember how an ex once came home, put her bag down, and said, "Something smells nice, what are you cooking?" When I confessed that I wasn't cooking, I'd let one go, it put a strain on that relationship we never got over.
So, I am not sure that this invention, of a pill that makes your farts so chocolatey they even turn the milk brown, will make the world a better place. It will certainly ruin the fun of a Dutch oven.
Christian explained the thinking behind this behind air freshener: "We were at the table with friends and after a hearty meal, our farts were so smelly we nearly suffocated. Something had to be done."
And yet "not farting" wasn't his solution. He went about inventing a pill to change the way your body works rather than just hold it in. Tut, men.
The chocolate fart pill is the second one he's created, he's already produced a pill that makes your wind smell like roses. I've ordered both, roses and chocolate, and I'm all set in case I forget to buy Valentine's gifts. "Close your eyes, darling. I have a surprise for you..."
