Some Ideas Should Remain Imaginary

There was a skit I remember chuckling at the first time I ever saw it, about Flatuscents.  I'm sure anyone who has ever shared a bed has dreamed of something like this at some point after a spicy pot of chili.

However, there are some things that should be left a fantasy.  Really.  I could NOT believe my eyes when I was flipping through a catalog and saw this item.  It's really for sale.  You can actually BUY these.  Subtle Butt, disposable gas neutralizers:

Discreet Odor Neutralizer Pads<br>Never be embarrassed by “escaped” gas again!


If the link doesn't work for anyone, here is the product description pasted directly from the site (hey, it's not MY typo):
Sometimes you just con’t control a gassy stomach...and what may happen as a result. But relax—the pressure’s off when you’re protected with these antimicrobial pads. Just stick to your underwear (even thongs) and go about your day. If you make a slip, don’t worry—the odor is neutralized by the activated carbon layer, and you’re spared the embarrassment. Great for travel, office or anywhere you’re in close quarters!

I am sure everyone is RELIEVED to know these work with thongs.  Whew!  I knew you were worried.

There were TWO REAL Product Reviews for this item!
  • "For those who actually have this embarrassing problem, these work great. They are very pricey to use daily. That's my only complaint."
  • "I bought them for myself...I have experienced too many embarrassing moments...I am so glad that I came across these pads...they are definitely helpful!"
Ok, folks.  Here is a REAL question.  This item takes care of the smell.  But
WHAT THE HECK DO YOU DO ABOUT THE SOUND?

It's really the silent but deadly ones you have to worry about, though.

And I think that airplanes should be made of this stuff. I always end up next to some gassy person.

But these would take all the fun out of a Dutch Oven.

What a waste of a good chili dog.
