It astounds me what you will find in the newspaper these days. On the front page of the October 5, 2003, Chicago Tribune "Q" section, the editor saw fit to post an article on a new product called The Flatulence Deodorizer, or the Flat-D.
The Flat-D is shaped like a flat light bulb, and contains a layer of activated charcoal. It's worn inside your underwear. It's a washable device which sells for $12.95.
I know there's a use for this product. I was thinking about getting some as stocking stuffers, or handing them out at Thanksgiving. The writer actually tested it so that he could give his personal opinion, and he found it to function well if you make sure there is a comfortable seal. (We're well past the TMI! limit...)
What astounded me about this was that it wasn't buried in the back of the section, but it was on the FRONT PAGE! Either flatulence has become epidemic in proportion, or editorial standards have slipped.

One should be given to every male child at birth. Of course women don't do those things. Heh.

Opening the window works, and it doesn't cost anything.

First: How do you get a good seal? Lick and stick?
Second: Why would anyone want to REUSE this product, knowing what it's intended use is/was? Next we will recycle toilet paper by turning it inside out.
Last: Sounds like a product sold by the "Bob and Tom Show" and "Friggemall Industries".
