Post #1 - January 11th, 2007, 10:00 amTo celebrate the year of the pig, China has issued special stamps

with a very cute pig suckling piglets.
Scratch and sniff the surface and it smells like sweet and sour pork, and the glue is flavored the same way.
50 years from now, I wonder how many mint-condition stamps there'll still be?What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

I know someone who does business in China, I could certainly ask for a few sheets to be sent. I used to collect stamps when I was younger. I find this BBQ pork tasting glue fascinating.

Post #4 - January 12th, 2007, 6:26 pmFlavor companies are pretty remarkable in their ability to create 'bottled' versions of flavors. IFF's collaboration with Visionaire last year was great example of this. Gelatin sheets, like the kind used for Listerine, were flavored with "metal shavings", "fried egg", "laird hamilton's back (sweat)", "pine nuts", "airplane glue" etc. The metal really did taste like metal. And Laird Hamilton's back was also convincingly...sweaty.
