It seems that nobody buys my stuff anymore. Who hasn't at least once in there life wondered how nice it would be to be able to let one go in public without having the inevitable stares, and turned up noses. Everybody's looking at you, like they haven't done the same a hundred times. With my new Fart-Filter 1000, all of that is possible. So why aren't people biting? Is it seasonal? Perhaps it's the high energy prices. It wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the equally bad timing of the demise of my Okra-Cola brand soft-drinks. All of us at one time or another have wished we could have the great taste of Okra in a refreshing carbonated soft-drink. Why then has the public turned its collective back on my product? Is anyone else experiencing such a downshift in the economy. Things just aren't what they used to be. Is $19.95 + S/H too much to ask? I need some suggestions, or before long I won't be able to afford to heat my own garage.

You know, all of those trendy things fade away. You may need to come up with some new products to keep going. Think hi-tech. That's the wave of the future. The world needs a real life filter. You know, just like a spam blocker. You could program in all of the real life things that you abhor and filter them out.

I suggest you package your Fart Filter 1000 with a small testing device. Just like the folks whut sell batteries do.
Then anyone could walk up to your display, grab a Fart Filter 1000 and rip off a good one to make sure it worked properly.
Or if that doesn't work, perhaps you could simply install a Fart Filter 1000 on each can of Okra Cola so its unique taste might be a bit more palatable (and potable) to folk in other sections of our great United States?

jlp - Maybe you haven't read many posts lately, but methane is starting to become a commodity. Maybe I'm out in left field here, but it "could" be the Chinese have rebelled against your idea and have had your product black-balled. Your product also goes against the Feng Shui idea of free movement and air currents, so again, I'd be blaming the Chinese.

Well, speaking of farts as we are... Has anyone ever noticed that when they chew sugarless gum or eat sugarless mints, they get the "putt putts"? I found out why! SORBITOL! It causes intestinal distress. My mom used to eat Breath Savers all the time and she got to the point where she had MAJOR distress in the lower intestine, if you know what I mean.
So there -- now you know. And I'll send you all a bill for my invaluable advice.

Consider the market overseas for such a great product! I see it as a major hit. Trade it Gas for Gas!!! Life is all downhill!
