A little-known device invented to allow two people to communicate across large distances that could collect and transmit audial and olfactory information. Despite the inventor's enthusiasm, this
never caught on, and only a few
small phone companies in the
midwest provide transmission of the smella-signal.
The
commercial went something like this:
Smellaphone! Smellaphone!
For only fifty dollas, you could have your own.
Smellaphone! Smellaphone!
It would be like one great big
smelly ice cream
cone.
