Christian1 Poincheval is a 65-year-old French inventor who has dedicated2 the past eight years of his life to making farts smell better.
65岁的法国老翁克里斯汀过去八年一直致力于“让屁味更好闻”。
He claims that his Lutin Malin -- which translates to "
crafty3 imp4" -- line of pills ease
digestion5 and "perfume" farts into smelling like roses or violets. Poincheval claims that his newest creation, just in time for the holidays, makes farts smell like chocolate.
According to Poincheval's website, the idea for the pills
apparently6 came from a dinner with friends during which nobody could stop farting.
"We were at table with friends and after a
hearty7 meal, we almost
suffocated8 as our farts were smelly," Poincheval writes. "The winds were not very pleasant for our fellow diners. I had to do something."
That horrific dinner, in which a group of several adults seemingly farted uncontrollably in a public space, inspired Poincheval to fix flatulence forever. He claims the pills are made from organic ingredients like blueberries, fennel and seaweed and that he sells "several hundred a month."
Poincheval told The Telegraph that he has many customers, especially around the holidays. "Christmas always see a surge in sales," he said.
A bottle of 60 pills
retails9 for €9.99, or $12.50, which seems shockingly low for something that makes terrible things smell like good things.
