Cans filled with the aroma of cow farts are proving a big hit with shoppers - despite costing £5 a tin.

Tins filled with the air sucked out of an ageing wooden stable, straw lined and filled with gas producing cattle has become an instant hit after it went on sale in Germany.

Managers of the 'Countryside air to go' project say their clients are mainly country people who have moved to the city and want to be reminded of home.

The cans cost £5 a pop and can be ordered from the web site www.stallduft.de

One advert boasts: 'Simply put your nose to the tin and peel back the lid for the authentic smell of the country'.

Designer Daniela Dorrer from the village of Adlkofen in Bavaria in Germany said: 'We hope to make people who miss the countryside happy and remind them of home.

Cow farts... How the Cow got over the moon

With all the crap-between-their-ears liberals around, filling the cans should easy.

Cows' farting and burping have even been accused of causing global warming problems.

Just one cow gives off enough harmful methane gas in a single day to fill around 400 litre bottles, which is really bad for the environment, say experts

Quick...notify AlGore and send him out to the farms to chastize those darn cows.

But which is worse...Gore's "hot air" or Cow farts?

Ten dollars to smell a cow fart? The new pet rock.

Wish I had thought of this. But it’s way to far out of the box to wrap my brain around it.

I’m getting some pretty ‘authentic’ aromas wafting in from the stockyards in Greeley, Colorado while I’m writing this. I’m willing to share.

The Creamland Dairy cow hot air balloon floating above Albuquerque...a familiar sight to this former New Mexican.

The neighborhood I used to live in was downwind of Price’s Dairy, so we had the real deal and it didn’t cost us a thing!
