Blanket Combats Marital Farts

Apparently, counseling isn’t the only thing that can save a marriage. I noticed a new product featured on the New York Daily News website this morning. It’s called the Better Marriage Blanket. And while it has nothing to do with warming up cold sex lives, it does claim to deal with a different kind of marriage foul: featherbed flatulence. Yes, that’s right. The blanket features a “layer of activated charcoal fabric that absorbs odor-causing molecules.” Apparently it’s the same material the Army uses to protect against chemical weapons. The website suggests giving the blanket as a wedding or anniversary present, neither of which I can see going over very well. But I guess it’s a cheaper alternative to either counseling or a divorce lawyer.
The Better Marriage Blanket inspired the Daily News to make a slideshow of the world’s stupidest inventions.
