Pharmacy customers can now be ready for the Zombie apocalpyse, after the launch of new fragrances claimed to make the undead smell more bearable. New York perfumier Demeter Fragrance Library says its new ‘Zombie for Him’ and ‘Zombie for Her’ both enable the “dead to simply pass by without offending”. According to the Demeter website, Zombie for Him includes dried leaves, mushrooms, mildew, moss and earth - while Zombie for Her is a “slightly lighter version” which adds “dregs from the bottom of the wine barrel for that feminine touch”. They’re available in a limited edition for the next month or so, with several reviews on the Demeter website surprisingly positive. Comments include: “as soon as I sprayed it on myself it reminded me of a graveyard” and “I can’t wait to shamble around smelling so interesting”. And a comment on Zombie for Her stated “If zombies actually smell like this I might not fear the zombie apocalypse as much!”.
It ’s a vital ingredient for an
Aussie hamburger; to some
people it tastes just like wet dirt;
but beetroot has also been found
to have a significant effect on high
blood pressure.
A report in the journal
Hypertension this month reveals
details of a study where subjects
drank a cup of beetroot juice
and saw a reduction of 10mm of
mercury on average.
The researchers attributed the
effect to nitrate in beetroot,which
widens blood vessels.
They also warned of a possible
side effect of the remedy - it may
turn your urine pink.
