The #1 item on [Cracked.com](http://Cracked.com)’s latest “News BS” article: [#1.

According to the story, the creators of this “personalized probiotics” company presented the idea at this year’s DEMO conference as a supplement designed to change the scent of women’s down-there parts to suit male preferences – because who doesn’t get a raging erection when smelling fruit? This impressively sexist notion got legs in the media before someone bothered to look into the vagina-altering company in question … only to discover that the CEO is actually a 20-year-old female college student who invented the probiotic as a swab to prevent yeast infections. So, it’s less about making lady junk smell like California exports and more about creating an important health tool. ---

Fermented fruit can give it a very attractive smell, depending on who is drinking it. ---

While the fact that the story is simply wrong is significant, I do find it interesting that it’s being decried as mysogynistic when an equivalent product for men has existed for years called Semenex. I’m actually surprised this ISN’T really a product. ---

There’s the old joke about the French restaurant that had “Peach Poosay” on the dessert menu. The waitress would bring out a peach that had been quartered and pitted and peeled and rub it all over her nether regions. The customer then asked “Now do I eat the peach?” The waiter said, “No, Monsieur the poosay, eat the poosay”.
