Science and technology have come a long way in a pretty short time. Fifty years ago we were able to successfully send men to the moon, thirty years ago scientists successfully cloned a mammal for the first time, and in this last decade we’ve seen the creation of self-driving cars. At one point in history things like intelligent robots and hoverboards were distant sci-fi imaginings, but now they’re starting to become a reality. It makes you wonder, what’s next? What other incredible innovations are on the horizon?

Floating cities?

Cyborgs??

How about, uhh, pills that make your farts smell good?

Because if there is a problem that has plagued society since the dawn of time that science has ignored for too long, it’s nasty farts.

French inventor and staunch anti-flatulence advocate, Christian Poincheval, has been perfecting the solution to rank butt stench since 2007, and folks, apparently he’s cracked it.

Thank god.

And as if that wasn’t good news enough, you have five different scent options to choose from.

Lilies, violets, roses, ginger, or chocolate.

Yeah, you can potentially expel the sweet sweet smell of chocolate from your ass.

Which is gross but also kind of appropriate.

The site’s instructions say you have to take between 2 and 6 of them per meal in order for them to take effect, so on one hand you’ll basically be shovelling fart pills into your mouth all day but hey, maybe your gas is particularly lethal and it’s worth it.

You can buy them all here, and please, PLEASE, someone try it and report back.
