Candy Could Replace Deodorant

You ever have one of those days where you just stink? Even though you put on deodorant...or maybe forgot? This product should become a best-seller in the U.S. because it's an opportunity for us to be lazier and eat candy.  I mean, come on! This could be perfect for the holidays too where you are either stuck in a car traveling and sweating or eating large amounts of food...and sweating.

There's a Bulgarian candy called Deo Perfume Candy.  Instead of taking 30 seconds to put on deodorant, you just eat one of these candies, and it emits a scent from your skin that covers up your natural body odor for up to six hours.

The candy works the same way as garlic.  It contains some natural compounds that your body can't break down, so you excrete them through the skin.  With garlic, that smell is bad.  With Deo candy, the smell is a mix of roses, lavender, and vanilla.

The candies are sugar free, taste like tangerine, and come in bags that, for some reason, make them look like feminine hygiene products.  Which, in an abstract way, they kind of are.

Deo sells on Amazon for $8-a-bag.
