BULGARIA - Just when you thought American swine couldn't get any fatter, modern science produces a new excuse for them to gobble up sweets.
Anyone who eats Deo Perfume Candy comes out smelling like roses, literally. The new candy contains a sweet scented rose oil. One serving (four pieces) of candy, will give a 145 pound person a cloying body odor for up to six hours. That shouldn't pose a problem for Americans, who already eat so much sugar that they sweat it from their pores. However, the candy maker may need to revise its recommended dosage since most Americans weigh far more than 145 pounds.
Deo Perfume Candy is the product of a truly international collaboration. It was invented by Bulgarian confectioner Alpi and American health and nutrition company Beneo based on research by Japanese scientists. Stores already sell bags of Deo Candy to the less smelly citizens of Germany, China, Spain, Korea and Armenia. Stinking Americans can only buy Deo online for $10 bag. However, the first batch offered by Amazon.com has already sold out. Fortunately, a Dutch company is developing a similar product called Swallowable Parfum to help meet the demand. So, hopefully the problem of fat, smelly Americans will soon resolve itself.
