If you’re one of those people who is constantly worried about whether or not you stink, worry no more! A new candy has been developed which not only tastes delicious, but also keeps you from smelling of body odor!
Beneo, an American company, has teamed up with Bulgarian confectioners Alpi to create an edible deodorant. These yummy candies are designed to be eaten once and release fragrance from the pores for up to six hours!
We bet you’re wondering how this could possible work. Well, it’s really very simple: the candies contain a specific compound that can’t be broken down by the body and so must be released through the pores. This is actually how stinky foods like garlic and asparagus also work.
The key ingredient is called geraniol which is a natural compound found in flowers like roses. The human body is unable to properly digest it, so instead releases it through pours and sweat, but instead of the bad smells of sweat, the scent would be much nicer.
These candies are already on sale in parts of Europe and the company is working on bringing them to North America as well.
