Clean Gas

At last, a baseball park giveaway item that we can really use.

MLB.com's Benjamin Hill reports that the Lake Elsinore Storm, a California minor league team will be giving away fart absorbers to go with their their weekly "Fat Tuesday" all-you-can-eat food promotion. According to the team's press release:

You can probably deduce that All-You-Can-Eat ballpark food might lead to substantial gas emissions, which is where corporate sponsor, Subtle Butt, enters the picture. Made of activated carbon fabric, each disposable 3.25" square shield is held onto the inside of the underwear with two self-adhesive strips. Subtle Butt effectively filters flatulence, absorbing and neutralizing its odor.

Therefore, the first 250 fans in attendance at every "Fat Tuesday" ballgame (the first is on April 14, mark your calendars) will receive a free product sample of Subtle Butt.

At fist I thought this must be a joke, but this product really does exist. You just tape it to the inside of your underpants and blast away odour free!
