Here’s a great giftware idea, just
in time for Christmas.
A company in the USA is
promoting Kentucky Fried Chicken
candles, which bring that fingerlickin’
good aroma to your home
any time of the day or night.
“Your home can now smell like
fried chicken without having to
actually fry chicken,” according to
Whit Hiler, founder of Kentucky
for Kentucky, a company which
promotes products from the socalled
Bluegrass state.
The special candles are created
by actually frying chicken in wax
and then adding “an infusion of
family secrets” - dare we say 11
secret herbs and spices?
The same manufacturer also
sells a Kentucky Derby-themed
candle, and no, it doesn’t smell
like a racehorse but rather has a
genteel mint julep scent.
According to USA Today the first
batch of the fried chicken candles
sold out in under a minute.
But can you trust him to take his
medicine?
Widespread publicity for a
potential new male contraceptive
pill over the last few days has
raised the thorny issue of
medication adherence.
Published in the Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences,
the technology from a team at
Monash University in Victoria is
claimed to be a reversible way
to stop sperm being ejaculated
without affecting sexual function.
Tests in genetically modified
mice were able to have the sperm
kept in “storage” during sex which
rendered the males infertile.
The idea is still a long way off
from being a simple “male pill,”
with the animal trials involving
changes to DNA which stopped
the rodents producing particular
proteins.
The researchers are now looking
into possible pharmacological
agents which could produce the
same effect without creating
cardiovascular symptoms.
