Apparently the candy you eat can work as a deodorant and that is what the makers of Deo Perfume Candy claim. This Bulgarian sweet treat contains a chemical that is secreted through the pores and brings a sweet smell along with it. Spays, Roll Ons and Sticks have been around for a while now, but edible deodorant? That’s the latest craze.

The company offers the candy in two flavors, rose and vanilla, but does it really work? Apparently research conducted in Japan found that a compound in garlic had the ability to emerge through the pores of the skin and scent it. That’s when the manufacturers of the candy decided that they needed something similar but better smelling.

After some experimental research they came up with these two flavored candies which actually tend to make the skin smell sweeter, not exactly roses and vanilla, but somewhat pleasant anyway. The candy deo is now available for sale online and people are buying them as the latest fad.

However there is just one more issue you would have to chomp through at least a couple of packets of candy to be able to experience the deo effect. That is a science project that only who can afford to put on some weight can undertake.
