How the hell is that possible?

[Dolfagr]

That'd be lovely.

Ahhh... The 21st century.

Why do I imagine people going around with acetone stench and being funny from it?

That's crazy... I imagined being able to send "sense" like that... smells and feelings and all. Rocket News likes to talk about "smells" and stuff, huh? Not the first smell related product (if you can call it that) to come out of Japan recently.

Smells fishy.

Kid: Hold on mum I'll just send you the smell via my phone.

Revolutionary.... though my mother wouldn't be able to understand the technology whatsoever. >.<
