Honey, I Ate the Stamps

Stamps released in China to celebrate the Year of the Pig taste of sweet and sour pork.

When you scratch the front of the stamps, it smells of the popular chinese dish and when the back of the stamp is licked it tastes of the dish too.

The stamps are on sale in China ahead of their New Year on February 18, reports Metro.

This idea could really bail out the USPS, which has been losing business to UPS and Fed-Ex. How about a series of stamps honoring American Fast Food, that smell and taste like McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. Think of the potential corporate sponsorships!

Or how about a series of stamps featuring all 72 flavors of Baskin and Robbins ice cream? Or an educational "Just Say NO" series alerting kids to the smell and taste of marijuana, opium and crystal meth? They could even try a popular music based series with stamps like "Green Onions", "One More Cup of Coffee" or "Smells Like Teen Spirit"…

    Haha!! This stamp was great! I got myself a block of these on my way back to china and they DO smell like that. It wasn’t actually that popular though!

  2. Oh, I want cheese smelling stamps (sorry, I am French ;). These remind me of the scratch cards I had as a kid, only these cards produced the foulest of smells aha.
