You know what the problem with coffee is? You can’t inject it. Also, apparently some people complain about not being able to smell their coffee while they’re drinking it with a lid, denying them part of the sensory sensation. You know, because taste and smell are connected (I know this because I once put a spaghetti noodle up my nose and it came out my mouth). Coffee from your favorite donut shop has a problem. It doesn’t taste as good as it should because the lid traps in the wonderful aroma. Taste is 95% smell, so you’re really missing out. Mint Urban Technologies has a solution for this sensory shortcoming. It’s designed the Aroma Lid, a new cover that’s infused with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. When you take a sip, you smell and taste a wonderful, full-bodied brew. Neat idea, right? Sure. I’m not sure if the lid changes color too if that was just poor product photography, but who cares — the point is this: anything that makes the urine go down smoother for my coworkers. The Aroma Lid Makes Your Coffee Smell and Taste Great [gizmodo] Thanks to Douglas, who taught me everything I know about being pissive aggressive. See what I did there? Me neither, I think there’s something in my eye.

Coffee Lids: Now w/ More Fresh Ground Smell

Because vampires are so hot right now , two guys decided to create a line of perfume based on the four major human blood types (A, B, AB and O) to sell to ‘Twilight’ fans. Me? I BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES. Ooooooor with bath salts and aromatic candles. What?! I like to unwind! While the Milan-based designers concede that Blood Concept may make some squeamish, they maintain that their perfumes have nothing to do with blood lust. “No splatter, no vampires …” Zuddas said. Not so fast. Merticus, a 32-year-old Atlanta man who self-identifies as a vampire, intends to sample the fragrance line. A founding member of the Atlanta Vampire Alliance and Vampire Community News, Merticus favors O-positive as his drink of choice. As for which scent he’d prefer to wear — or detect on a donor — he’s keeping an open mind. “I find the black cherry, pomegranate and patchouli infusions of B and the raspberry, rose hips, and birch infusions of O equally intriguing,” Merticus said via e-mail. “Hopefully I’ll be able to sample them in the flesh soon.” I’m not gonna lie, Merticus, that was probably the least frightening interview with a vampire (zing!) I’ve ever heard. You wax waaaaaay too poetic about rose hips and birch infusions for me to be scared of you. Know what I’m saying? I’m saying if anybody’s getting bit in a dark alley it’s gonna be you. Then I’m going to trade your fangs to a wizard for a dragon penis! Blood-Inspired Perfume Piques Vampire Curiosity [aolnews] Thanks to Samantha, who used to wear a perfume made with unicorn tears but stopped after finding out they tell the unicorns really sad stories to make them cry.

Enough With The Vampires: Blood Perfume

Movies : first they were black & white , silent and 2-D. Now they’re color, Dolby Digital and 3-D. But still odorless . Enter the ScentSciences machine, a $70 smell-wafter that releases odors to coincide with movies that’ve been edited with their ScentEditor software. Eh. Call me when we’ve got full-blown Brave New World feelies. This year at CES, ScentSciences released a bread loaf sized product that appeals to your nose…of all things. Movies that have been created with their ScentEditor software can make you smell all the smells that you would imagine to be on screen. It’s kind of a creepy way to put you more into the movie, but hey, smells are a sense we don’t use during a movie other than for popcorn, so why not? There is a scent cartridge that can hold up to 20 distinct smells and any smells you want can be custom ordered. These cartridges should last up to 200 hours and needless to say that’s a lot of time to smell things. Just a heads up: if smell-o-vision ever takes off I can and will carry a constant supply of stink-bombs around to ruin your experience. Reminds me of the first time I set some off at a high-school assembly. They broke in my pocket while I was shaking my wiener dry at the urinal. I vomited, passed out on the bathroom floor, and got suspended. Best prank ever or best prank ever?! (I still have glass shards in my balls) ScentScape brings smells to your movies [redferret] Thanks to Shenanigans, who farted when Jar-Jar appeared on screen and everybody thought it was part of the experience.

NOTE: Commercial for the WTF You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me Blanket is after the jump. The Better Marriage Blanket is an actual damn product , officially signaling the end of mankind. Or maybe just flatulence -related divorces! It’s basically a comforter with a layer of activated carbon sewn in so when you rip a squirty one your partner doesn’t have to smell it. Unless they’re into that sort of thing, in which case I have a blanket beyond their wildest dreams. Hit it for the I know I shouldn’t be surprised this exists but I’m still disappointed with humanity.

It’s Anti-Toot!: The Better Marriage Blanket

Smell absorbing paint , affectionately known in the wall-covering industry as pigmented anti-toot film, absorbs odors yet remains shit-smell free. I swear, the future: we’re living in it. Dutch Boy Refresh eliminates these volatile compounds, but goes one step further by incorporating technology that actually absorbs existing odors in the room. That sounds like just the thing for bathrooms and kitchens, especially if you have smelly pets. Dutch Boy says the paint will lock the odors onto the surface of the paint, yet somehow the actual walls remain odor free. Seeing as they worked with Arm & Hammer to develop this, you can probably assume that baking soda is a key ingredient. You know who needs some Dutch Boy Refresh? Just about every gas station bathroom I’ve ever been in. Just don’t go covering up all the “for a good time call” numbers. I spent a lot of time on those. Paint that absorbs room odors, yet never smells bad [dvice]

This version’s really small and probably hurting your eyes to squint at though so click THIS BUTTON to see a full-size version AND PREPARE TO BE ODORIZED! Well, what do you think? I thought it was pretty awesome except for the ones at the bottom. Those ones made my uke-pay in my outh-may a little. And by a little I mean a lot. It’s dribbling down my chin. Well? LICK IT UP, PEASANT! This is all your fault somehow, I know it. Periodic Table of Smellements [nataliedee] Thanks to Ambrose and Kristen, who are both transition smells.
