It's the GasBGon flatulence filter, and it's helping provide relief for thousands of gas passers who have cleared rooms or blamed the dog for far too long.
"People tell us, 'Thank you for giving my life back. Now I can go out in public again,'" Sharron Huza, the cushion's creator, said in an interview. "They'll bring it with them to the movie theatre, to work, in the car or on the airplane."
Huza said more than 1,000 cushions have been sold in just over a year on the market. The company has been approached by people interested in taking GasBGon products into Belgium, Britain, Asia and Canada, according to James Huza, the company president.
"Second-hand flatulence knows no borders," he said.
The Huzas, a husband-and-wife team, say the cushion uses charcoal liner technology to filter out both malodorous smells and head-turning noises. The fabric is washable, and a removable foam filter muffles sounds while the activated carbon absorbs odors...

"While some companies hope their success isn't all just hot air, the Huzas are building on it, and have more products in the works. They're currently testing an idea for gas-filtering underpants.
"It's worn between undergarments and the outer layer of clothing," James said. "We're designing this as a result of some of the requests we've had for those who 'walk and talk' at the same time.'"
Your remark: "Does the UK stand for UnKnowing? "
Does philman stand for "pot head is looney man" or perhaps "pot head is loser man"? :)
