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.
