It's times like this I wish the internet was scratch and sniff.
You of course mean scratch and lick. posted by Robot Johnny at 12:07 PM on August 17, 2005
Like countless others, I crave the flavor. posted by rxrfrx at 1:18 PM on August 17, 2005
In the inventor's bio, his PR geniuses came up with this gem:
"one of the nation’s top R&D culinarians."
I almost expect to see stints at Bridgestone and Dow in his vitae. posted by Jazznoisehere at 1:20 PM on August 17, 2005
While I can see the thought behind this, I can also see someone spraying this nasty crap directly into their mouth or spraying banana split on their banana split and doubling up the flavor.
And I'm sorry but Smoked Bacon should not be available in spray form. Maybe as a jelly bean but not as a spray. Though it would be alot of fun to mess with the neighborhood dogs and the bacon spray. posted by fenriq at 1:27 PM on August 17, 2005
My first thought was "OOO" that would be fun to play with......hehehehehe.......... posted by bjgeiger at 1:30 PM on August 17, 2005
Flavor Sprays are people! They're people!! posted by phirleh at 1:36 PM on August 17, 2005
Fascinating. If these were cheaply and readily available, I'd never buy butter-flavored popcorn again. posted by alumshubby at 1:39 PM on August 17, 2005
Is it wrong that my mouth is watering from thinking about spraying everything with smoked bacon and ranch? posted by uncleozzy at 1:55 PM on August 17, 2005
My mother cannot cook, she never has been. Growing up wasn't painful, as I never had something to reference against... until college. The college cafeteria food was terrific! Not really, but with my pallette, hell yes. I see this as a cure for people that cannot cook; just taste-test the food and if it's found lacking, then spray on the correct taste. Brilliant! posted by cleverusername at 2:03 PM on August 17, 2005
there are whole menus! 3 course meals, one spray each. posted by punkbitch at 2:16 PM on August 17, 2005

My guess is that dogs wouldn't be fooled, that they'd only smell chemicals. posted by Hubajube at 2:25 PM on August 17, 2005
Why is mustard on their list? Mustard's not all that bad for you. It's not like it's mayo or something -- it's mustard! Ground up seeds and vinegar!
Also -- why isn't "buttery" already available? Wouldn't that be the first one to come up with? Is it that much easier to make a spray bacon than spray butter? Don't they already have spray butter?
And what the hell is "Ice Blue Salt"? posted by macadamiaranch at 2:35 PM on August 17, 2005
Please someone explain Ice Blue Salt spray to me. Is it just me or does that sound like something they spray on the roads in winter? posted by MsMolly at 2:38 PM on August 17, 2005
but certainly this will NOT satisfy my urge to purge... leaving my somewhat damp but empty. posted by Phantast at 3:00 PM on August 17, 2005

cleverusername: This American Life recently had a bit about a girl whose mother cooked her only chicken every night during her childhood, and when she started eating at the the cafeteria in high school she was awed at their cooking skills, that they could make different things every day. posted by abcde at 4:28 PM on August 17, 2005

What was the name of that dot-bomb that was going to allow you to smell things on the net? Scent-o-matic or something? E-scent? I-Scent 2000 I can't remember...Anyone? posted by jikel_morten at 6:27 PM on August 17, 2005

But Mustard is exotic! And, as macadamiaranch points out, not bad for you. posted by MrMustard at 5:54 AM on August 18, 2005
Oh my God. Parmesan cheese spray?
Mind you, I won't even use margarine because I think highly manipulated foods are gross and bad for you, but something like this would really come in handy if you absolutely had to diet... posted by bitter-girl.com at 6:29 AM on August 18, 2005
In the little opening movie, the hand is spraying "chocolate fudge" on everything... that slab of prime rib, and the salad, too. I wonder if chocolate fudge is just good on everything, or what. posted by crunchland at 7:14 AM on August 18, 2005
I, for one, am NOT replacing my gravy with spray-on flavor. That would just be wrong!
