Pubs and nightclubs might never be the same again.
A night out wouldn’t be complete without at least on one occasion being engulfed by methane that has seeped out from someone, possibly oneself. The smoking ban has only highlighted such flatulence issues, but one company claims to have the solution. And it’s not to clench tightly.
The Shreddies – no connection to the cereal – pants contain Zorflex, used in chemical warfare suits, and its makers claim they can filter odours 200 times stronger than the average ‘emission’, with the carbon material is apparently reactivated every time the pants are washed.
Now there are some people – we won’t mention any names – who would test these filtering abilities to the very last and a Shreddies spokesperson has said that the pants are for anyone.
“Flatulence seriously affects millions of people every day and since 2008 Shreddies has been helping those affected increase their quality of life,” the spokesperson who wouldn’t be named said in the New York Daily News.
“The bottom (great pun on the company’s part) line is that Shreddies are for everyone, after all, it’s something we all do.” Yes, but some far worse than others.
If it can sort out the by-product of 10 pints of Guinness and a large curry chips, well it could well be a very popular Christmas present.
