Chewing gum changes your BO


This Fuwarinka chewing gum from Japan changes your body chemistry so that you exude a pleasant aroma after chewing it.

Chewing gum just to freshen your breath is a thing of the past. Now with an innovative new gum from Japan, gum can freshen your whole body. Approximately an hour after chewing the gum, the special aroma component is emitted from your skin through the use of the new substances geraniol and linalool.

Available in three different flavors, Fuwarinka fresh citrus, Fuwarinka fruity rose, and Otokokaoru rose menthol for men, this unique gum will be available starting July 21st from CompactImpact.com.

Update: Philip sez, "I just wanted to mention that I ordered some of that gum and tried it with various friends and family over Christmas. First of all, it's pretty mediocre gum with a consistency like Bazooka. Secondly, it doesn't work! Not one of the 4 people who tried both flavors (and several pieces of each) ever emitted any detectable odor. My analysis: bullshit."
