Eau de Fromage

Post by GaryKelly »

What happened to the 'bad business ideas' thread?

What next? Eau de teenagers' training-shoes? :boggle:

Stilton lovers can now satisfy their cravings for their favourite brand by wearing it - as a perfume.

Eau de Stilton is being launched by the Stilton Cheese Makers Association (SCMA) in a bid to encourage people to eat more blue stilton.

Only seven dairies in the world are licensed to make stilton and they are in Notts, Leics and Derbys.

The perfume, described as "fruity and earthy" by the SCMA, is now available in sample form from the association.

If the perfume proves to be a hit, there are plans to mass-produce the scent.

Nigel White, from the SCMA, said: "The perfume has a very earthy, musky, herby type of background which is very different to the very sweet perfumes you smell wafting down the street as someone walks past you."

Mr White added that the smell was not to everyone's taste and that there had been a mixed reaction to the perfume.

The SCMA has approached television presenter Cat Deeley to be the face of Eau de Stilton and a sample has been sent to her for her consideration.

I predict that wearers of this perfume will be repeatedly asked to change their socks.

Just put a dab of butter behind each ear in the morning.

By noon the rancid stench will give you all the fruity and earthy scent that you need.

Oh cool! I have enough teenage trainers here to make a killing on that scent! I'd better get going on it, before someone else does it first! :lol:

I'm going to buy some of that cheesy parfum for my daughter. She's just crackers about cheese :wink:

Personally, I'd be in mortal fear of the growing numbers of rodentia following me around, trying to nibble on me.

That's what the talcum powder is for. :wink:

Didn't you know that 'djm' stands for "Deriere-jumping mouse". That's why he's behind you.

Eau de Fromage? That means "cheese water". When my cheese does that, I usually throw it out.

Never thought of it as a business opportunity. Hmm...

This is Stilton we're talking about -- I'd be worried about dogs trying to roll around in me.

SCMA came to this idea a bit late.
The homeless people lounging around the metro train/subway/bus station by my house have smelled like this for years.

Hmm. Who -or what- are you hoping to attract?
