I think just about everyone suffers from flatulence at some time or another, but what do you do about it? Well most of us don’t do anything, but if it’s a real problem, maybe you order a Flat D flatulence deoderiser. It’s a chair pad packed with charcoal which apparently absorbs the odour of any indiscretions. At first I thought this was a joke, but when I searched on the internet, I found a whole range of flatulence related products available.

I’m not sure what kind of person orders one of these chair pads and thinks “Right that’s me sorted, I can let rip all day now!” but maybe there are some. In any event, it’s further proof that there’s money to be made in the most unexpected places.

Most of the products in this field seem to be US based – maybe it’s the diet. Could this be something to bring to the UK perhaps?
