Stink Yourself Slim Grosses You out So You’ll Lose Weight

It’s easy to gain weight, but it’s exponentially harder to lose it. As you probably already know by now, crash diets won’t work. What does work is cleaning up your diet and adding more exercise into your lifestyle.

Then, of course, there’s Stink Yourself Slim.

I wouldn’t say it’s revolutionary, but I would say that it’s definitely unusual.

Stink Yourself Slim is basically a stink bomb in a bottle, but you’re not supposed to use it to prank others. Instead, you’re supposed to spritz some and smell it so you’ll lose your appetite. It’s logical: the less food you eat, the more weight you lose. It was created by Alex Fontaine and was inspired by a real-life event when a skunk crashed a buffet and ruined everyone’s appetite.

It’s being advertised as something that curbs emotional eating as it “works on brain areas that control motivation and behavior.” I’m not sure how stinking up the place affects a person’s motivation, but I will agree that it’ll make them want to eat less.

Stink Yourself Slim is available online for £29.99 (~$49 USD).

Plain white socks these are not. The Atlas sock is a performance dress sock made from cotton, polyester and carbonized coffee. Carbonized coffee? Yes, it helps filter and absorb sweat and odor.

Robots Tell You If You Have Bad Breath or Smelly Feet

If you have a body odor problem, you’ll want stay away from this disembodied robotic head and dog. The one shaped like a girls head smells your breath and the robot canine smells your feet.

They were made by Kitakyushu National College of Technology and  ”Crazy Lab”. These robots were designed to make people more aware of their cleaning habits by making strong remarks about just that. Depending on how bad your breath is, Kaori-chan can say things like “Yuck! You have bad breath!”, “No way! I can’t stand it!” or even the dire “Emergency! There’s an emergency taking place!”

Shuntaro-kun, the feet smelling robot dog evaluates the intensity of odor from your feet, on a scale of one to four. Depending on how strong the stench is, the dog will cuddle up to you, bark, growl or pass out.

Robotic girl and dog pair up to judge your body odor in Japanese

Robotic girl and dog pair up to judge your body odor in Japanese

“Emergency taking place!” That’s quite possibly the last thing you’d want to hear from anyone smelling your breath — a female humanoid robotic head mounted atop a rectangular pink and red box being no exception. Similarly, a robotic hound passing out after smelling your feet should certainly be cause for alarm. Japanese company CrazyLabo paired up with Kitakyushu National College of Technology to create both bots, tasked with smelling your breath and your feet, respectively. The woman, named Kaori-chan, passes judgement on four levels, with feedback ranging from “It smells like citrus!” to the dire exclamation you read about above.

The pooch, for his part, doesn’t speak, but instead displays varying levels of affection — it’ll cuddle up if things are looking good, but it’ll bark or growl if it’s time to change those socks. If the situation is beyond repair, he’ll collapse, as Chopin’s funeral march plays in the background. It’s just as depressing as it sounds. Granted, it’s all in good fun, but if you’re easily offended (or often offending), you probably won’t want to venture any closer than the demo video at the source link below.
