Edible Deodorant
According to The Guardian, Beneo, a U.S.-based company has created Deo Perfume Candy that releases a rose scent after consumption. The sugar-free tangerine-flavored candy will allegedly make the individual smell like roses for up to six hours.
How does it work? Like garlic. Garlic contains compounds that cannot be broken down, and thus, they are released via the skin pores. The candy contains a similar compound, Geraniol, found in roses, lavender and vanilla.
Already available in many countries (including Spain, Germany, Armenia, China and Korea), the candy retails for $10 a bag.
Would you use candy instead of deodorant?

Oh my gosh! I want some! :)
I would not eat that at all, I'm sure it is safe but something about it makes me nervous. Plus it kind of goes against "scent free" places.
@lianO_Owang@xanga - asians don't have the same sweat glands under their armpits as other races. ya'll are lucky
Okay, this explains why a former co-worker always swore up and down that I smelled like garlic whenever I had spaghetti for dinner. (I always added extra garlic to my mom's meat sauce.)
Oh, thank God. I was thinking someone actually made a deodorant stick that you could eat, and that just did not make any sense at all. This is kind of awesome, though. I would love to smell like roses all day. Anything but sweat and butt. That's one of my phobias...smelling like a butt.
Too bad it doesn't make you smell like tangerines, though. I would love that.
i would love to try some, although wouldn't it be the same if i just took a small tiny dose of rose essential oil?
seriously?
