HAHAHA! That's good!

I remember reading about technology like this many years ago, when the web was young. They were touting the arrival of web site's where you could "smell" the products like food or perfume, it never materialized though.

Good one Keith!

The Russians developed "Smellovision" in the 1950s, to add scents that accompanied movies in a few Moscow theatres. One trouble was, that the patrons all had such bad B.O., that no one could detect the artificial odors very well.
