Sending Smells

[spathiphyllum]

When do you think we'll have the tech to send smells? Or do you not think we will ever be able to?

[Calicogirl]

I fart in your general direction!

I can already put a bottle of Chanel No 5 in the mail to you, spath

[spathiphyllum]

That's true

to be honest i doubt it will happen in the near future, i can't imagine how technology would collect a scent then replicate it and send the recipe of the scent across devices, because the receiving device will then have to replicate the scent, meaning it will need to store a number of scents and chemicals

[woofgang]

you'd need transporter technology https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2017/07/12/first-particle-successfully-quantum-teleported-into-space-are-transporters-next/

[spathiphyllum]

It would get into the realms of teleportation aye

I 'll put some of my old socks in the post!. Smell is transmitted through the air . To send a smell just suck up some of the smelly air with an air pump and send it .

I've often scent stuff through the post.

[agchristie]

When the ol' factory gets its act together?

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe by Septum-ber?

[retrocop]

When they put the price of postage up 100 per scent. That will create a stink.

[spathiphyllum]

lol this has become quite punny

[agchristie]

I thought I'd achieved it to my female friend who said adenoid her.

[Arksided]

Far far away into our distant future but Mr. Donald (USA) has a lot to cmpete with, If he wants to impress me.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, spath this is getting cilia by the minute.

[spathiphyllum]

LOL

[agchristie]

What would I send? Hmm,I'm pro Boss x

[Old_Geezer]

Could do it now if the demand was there. You'd need a standard for coding smells, and something in your PC to generate the required aroma mix. Not really much point though.

[Zacs-Master]

Not much point! What about advertisers showing food and drink accompanied by smell.

[Old_Geezer]

You want to use your bottles of scent up on ads ?
I think most will agree, no, no point.
