Farts are funny, but they don’t smell funny. “Silent but deadly” isn’t just a saying, it’s a true fact. That’s why someone has invented a line of scented pills designed to make your farts smell like pleasant things – like violets, roses, and even chocolate.
These pills were created by a Frenchman named Christian Poincheval. He was inspired to create them after a fart-filled dinner with friends. He explains, “We had just came back from Switzerland and we were eating a lot … the smell from the flatulence was really terrible. We couldn’t breathe so me and [my] friend decided something had to be done.”
Wow. Any farts that inspire scientific breakthroughs must be worthy of the record books. They must have cleared that place out. Poincheval says that the product does more than just make your gas smell better. It’s also supposed to reduce bloating and helps your digestive system run better. The pills come in flowery scents, there’s a cocoa-infused variety called “Father Christmas”, even a “St. Valentine’s Ginger Fart Pill.” Need help with dog farts? This guy has you covered. Dog versions are available in powder form to sprinkle on your dog’s food.
If you’re so convinced that you want your farts to smell like flowers and candy, you can order them from Lutin Malin for about $21 for a bottle of 60 pills. That should last you at least one meal at Taco Bell.

Poop stinks. Most of the time, it’s tolerable – it is your own poop, after all. But sometimes, it downright stinks and makes you want to gag. Maybe it was indigestion, or maybe it was something you ate. Whatever the cause, nobody wants a bathroom that smells like a bunch of fart bombs were set off inside of it.
And here to save the day is Fresh Air Plus.
It’s basically a fan that’s built into a toilet seat. The Fresh Air Plus has a sensor that detects when a user is seated on the bowl. Once the pooper has been detected, the fan turns on and pushes out all foul smells through a tube that connects your bowl to an outdoor outlet. By the time you’re done, the smells will be gone and you can flush and wash your hands, gag-free.
Fresh Air Plus is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $160(USD) will get you one of your very own.

Farts can be deadly weapons. Silent, but deadly. But how can we harness the raw power of farts? Up until now, we have never been able to make an effective weapon out of these gaseous emissions. The weaponization of farts requires something that gives us good aim and distance. Well, now we have a solution.
Everything you put into your body eventually comes out on the other end. If it’s bad to begin with, then you can expect it to be a wee bit worse by the time it passes through your digestive tract. An app that checks out the nutritional value of food by way of “fart power” is the Fart Code app.
Once it’s all fired up, just use your phone to scan the code on your processed food of choice. The app checks out the food’s individual ingredients and uses an algorithm to determine how toxic a fart would be, based on those ingredients.
Fart Code is available for iOS and you can download it for free here.

Everyone has gas, and it can get quite problematic when you’re in a job interview or on a first date and you let one rip. Thankfully, Shreddies, an English company, has come up with something that will neutralize all of your flatulent emissions!
Shreddies underwear is made out of a cloth called Zorflex, which promises to absorb your smelly farts. Zorflex is made out of an absorptive carbon cloth that you’ll find in the back panel of the underwear. The fabric is thin and flexible, and is also used in chemical warfare suits – go figure. Once it has been used, you can reactivate the fabric by washing your dirty, smelly undies.
You can get your own starting at approximately $30(USD) a pair. I don’t know about you, but I’m all for making the world a less stinky place.

Most farts stink, and that’s a fact of life. I have yet to meet someone who has pleasant-smelling farts, because the closest thing to “pleasant” are farts that have no smell.
The worst fart I’ve encountered is the silent but deadly type. You know, the ones that are released without a sound, but smell like someone just crapped in their pants? Yeah, you’ve probably smelled at least a few of these in your lifetime.
If you’re guilty of unleashing a few of your own stinky bad boys to the world yourself to much embarrassment, then you might want to pick up a couple of these flatulence deodorizer pads. They’re supposed to go inside your underwear and not outside of it, as the image above suggests. While you might not feel comfortable placing a pad on your butt, you might want to reserve use for it only during moments when you can’t afford to stink up the place.
The secret to the pads is that they’re embedded with activated charcoal. I can’t vouch for its effectivity, although you might want to try them out if you’re known for extremely stinky flatulence.
These Flat-D pads are available from Colonial Medical for $29.95 for a box of 10. And no, we’re not joking. They really do exist.
