Selling smells

Tagged:

I have an idea that involves generating nice smells.

Shut up. It’s not some retarculous smell-o-vision idea. That idea is still dead for a reason and it’s not because we haven’t got the technology yet.

My idea is to have a restaurant that deals in smells. We don’t have to generate the smells artificially, we could actually just cook the food!

Our main audience would be dieters they would come in and use their own delusions to deceive themselves into thinking they were not hungry after smelling the food. They would then lose weight and we would gain money! A win-win!

The trick is that we don’t actually have to cook all the food. We could just fry up some garlic and butter. Bake random bits of flour and milk. Where we would actually have to cook food, we could eat it ourselves afterwards.

I’m going to be rich!

what? when I smell some good food (e.g. the guy next to me at work having lunch at 12:30 daily) I get hungry.

Unless… you flip the idea by saying you’ll sell the food to the fat people, while the dieters sit there and watch them (maybe from behind one-way mirror). The sheer horror at the sight will keep most from eating. High-concept eating.

The smell-o-vision idea is better.
