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.
