What's invisible and smells like ...jelly beans?

Wacky Jelly Bean Company Promises Scented Farts



coming soon:

Quote:
A company that's currently keeping its name under a guise of secrecy is one that's promising to offer a solution to one of the world's biggest issues. No, we're not talking about the Gulf oil spill, so perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration, but we are talking about another type of gas!
Farts are a serious issue, at least they are when they have the ability to make the air in a small place toxic to breathe in. Sure, you could walk around with a can of air freshener and give it a spray anytime some gas is passed. But that would just draw unwanted attention and fellow elevator riders may not appreciate you spritzing them with Hawaiian breeze or vanilla scents.

As a solution to this problem, one international company has decided to create jelly beans that are safe to, safe to digest eat, and when they make an escape from your body during the process, they admit an appealing scent. This company promises that they will have jelly beans with a standard office scent, or the smell of various designer perfumes.
Now we just need to wait and see exactly which business this is and if it's a concept that works!
I work with a guy who's mom works for a flavor/scent company in NJ. She says this is for real.

The secret is that they are fart-flavored jelly beans.

I'm curious... and dubious... since to change a fart's smell you have to change its chemical composition.

What of these chemical and their effects on the body?

I think they're misrepresenting how they work. You actually have to shove one right up your ass if you want that "fresh as a jelly bean" aroma. After that you can eat them, preferably not the one previously inserted elsewhere.

That sounds kind of like BP's junk shot.

I've eaten Chinese food that creates farts that smell just like Chinese food. It is unsettling to say the least.
