With French designer spray, the sensation of inebriation

What utter and complete idiocy.

Can only imagine when this hits the streets here and the kids discover it; stupid in aerosol form. Probably healthier than drinking hand sanitizer.

reading about the science and tech behind these sprays, and how it affects olfactory and brain, here I wonder if:

could a few flavors of food be developed, such as pork roast, turkey dinner, or others; with the idea that overweight people could eat something healthier and smaller portioned, such as celery sticks, or salad, and then spray 1 puff of a meal flavor in their mouth.

could this then lead to the nose and stomach telling the brain that you ate a full dinner, thus providing the satiety to stop eating, when in reality you ate a bunch of flavorless celery sticks?

if the spray could work in this way to make people's brains think they ate a lot of their favorite foods, maybe the obese could lose weight easier, while getting healthier..

And this is something we need? I find it abhorrent that a country renowned for it's wine and food would even attempt such a shortcut....it's a really sad statement when someone spends so much of their valuable yet limited 70+ years on this planet designing something as pointless as this....sheesh...*NEXT!*

Sure, ONE SPRITZ doesn't get you drunk, but the effect wears off quickly. What happens when someone takes one spritz every 5 minutes for several hours? Or goes all week taking a spritz every time the effect wears off? At least with liquor you have to wait a bit for the drunkenness, and there's a penalty if you over-do. Is this the new crack?

Oh boy, oh boy, Huffing for the Urban Sophisticate!!
