Company sells bacon-scented underpants

November 28: Clothing firm J&Ds is also making bikinis with the alluring aroma for its Christmas range – but warns they shouldn’t be worn around hungry dogs

It takes the meaning of “bacon bits” to a whole new level with that tempting smell now emanating from… knickers.

People who crave a bacon butty ht be left craving all day with the selection of pants and men’s trunks that have just hit the market in time for Christmas .

But they are warned: “Make sure he stays away from hungry dogs!”

Not only does the underwear smell of bacon but also looks like bacon as they are bright pink and have pictures of sizzling rashers on them.

American-based manufacturers J&D’s are flooding the festive market in Britain with the bizarre meat-scented briefs and hope girlfriends and wives will buy them as a tasty gift for their loved one.

But each pair, costing about £13, comes with a disclaimer, warning they are “not recommended for postmen, zookeepers, vets, dog walkers and circus performers”.

The firm adds “If you have a large dog with razor sharp teeth, please do not fall asleep in our bacon-scented underwear.”

A spokesman said “Each pair is hand crafted in the USA to offer the support of briefs, the freedom of boxers and the smell of breakfast cooking in your pants. You really can have it all.”

The company has also produced bacon-flavoured bikinis to buy at Christmas for women – they say the bacon smell will hang around till next summer.

The spokesman said: “This intoxicating scent will last through multiple wash cycles and wearings – depending on the strength of your own scent, your underwear should continue to smell like bacon for up to six months or even a year.

“Featuring state of the art moisture-wicking, scent-emission technology stolen from NASA , we’ve embedded the smell of everyone’s favourite smell into the fabric of your pants.” (Agencies)
