Keitai KunKun cellphone smell tones. Pfaff, keep your snazzy ringtones, what you really need are odour tones which trigger when your mobile phone rings or an email arrives. Must be activated by the signal from the incoming call. Mind you, not sure it’s going to be much use when your phone rings in the middle of a crowded commuter train, eh, and you’re mashed up against armpit from Accrington?

Is the first among the world! It is news universal design in “odor” at arrival of the mail of a cellular phone! It is epoch-making mobile accessories to inform of arrival of the mail of a cellular phone in “odor”. Hangs it on a strap of a cellular phone, and faint odor opens at every telephone and arrival of the mail of an email for five seconds.

My first thought when I saw this was some guy in an elevator saying, "No seriously man, it was my cellphone!"

My kid would blame me if their mom had a fart smelltone on her phone. I always get blamed. It wasn't me, it was the damn dog.

"Please make sure your smelltone is turned off. Thank you."

Keitai KunKun (NIOUNDESU, It Really Smells)

That's not the best advertising.

"No seriously man, it was my cellphone!"

I guess that smell would be reserved for the telemarketers.

...or mother-in-laws.

I had a pheromone-tone-phone once. Every time it rang I got propositioned by every woman withing 100 feet. I also had a bad experience when it went off once in the zoo.

If Hillary emails you, does it smell like a fart?

I'm waiting for the first tuna joke.
