Humans are inventive problem solvers, but few people would think someone would take the time to invent a pill designed to mask the smell of farts. Christian Poincheval, an eccentric 75-year-old from France, created Pilule Pet — which loosely translates to "fart pills" — in 2007. Some of the poot scents he offers are chocolate, ginger, and rose. Fortunately, he already had a background in homeopathic remedies. After three months of tests assisted by a science lab, Poincheval figured out the right formula for fragrant flatulence. He uses 100% natural ingredients and actual cocoa in the chocolate pills, though he offers little specifics. Some include vegetable carbon and fennel, and all the pills have been approved for human consumption by the FDA. So, do these pills actually improve how your farts smell? YouTuber Angie Eats It All put the chocolate ones to the test and shared the results. One thing to consider is that the site recommends taking 2 to 6 capsules per day with food. Angie says that over two weeks of taking them, her farts completely disappeared rather than produced a chocolatey aroma. Another influencer got in on the action, too, only to conclude that the pills do not work. Take from it what you will. Pilule Pets start at $20.84, with discounts on multiples. They ship from France and are made with French ingredients. You can order them on Poincheval's website.
