NTT Communications in Japan is experimenting with a service to send smells over the Internet. Lest you think this is a totally new idea, a company called DigiScents tried this back in 1999. Of course, if you really want to go back to the beginning on all of this stuff, you need to thank John Waters for coming up with the original Scratch-n-Sniff movie concept back in 1981.

Oh, and if you're looking to get your own scratch-n-sniff cards printed, check out The Print Box, Inc., a company that custom-prints scractch-n-sniff cards! They have a fairly comprehensive list of available scents, but they also claim that ANY custom scent is available. Oh the possibilities!
