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.
