Email That Stinks
"Oh, kaori!" said the Japanese teenager sniffing her…cell phone? "It-su my friend-o," she reveals holding up a screen indicating she has mail. She's just dropped about $20 for a smelltone accessory that emits a 5-second aroma whenever she gets a message. If this were to fall into the wrong hands…
Sometimes fact, indeed, is stranger than fiction, and often those strange facts arise from Japanese marketing. A company has just released Keitai KunKun in four different odors.
Customers can choose from Hello-Kitty, healing Disney, relaxing Wild Nature DORAEMON, and ? Morning Musume.
"It is epoch-making mobile accessories to inform of arrival of the mail of a cellular phone in ‘odor.' Hangs it on a strap of a cellular phone, and faint odor opens at every telephone and arrival of the mail of an email for five seconds."
"These lineup emits bery strong fragrance to announce incoming calls."
Right…Guess all that time I spent teaching them English was in vain.
The slogan reads:
"NIOUNDESU, It Really Smells"
And I agree.
