I'm for progress as much as the next guy but, unless this thing pings my electric skillet to have a crispy pound waiting for me when I'm out of the shower, why would I want this?

Seems a little like culinary blue balls.

My first thought was even a bit more dystopian.

"...The scent-organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Herbal Capriccio -- rippling arpeggios of thyme and lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle, tarragon; a series of daring modulations through the spice keys into ambergris; and a slow return through sandalwood, camphor, cedar, and newmown hay (with occasional subtle touches of discord -- a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig's dung) back to the simple aromatics with which the piece began. The final blast of thyme died away; there was a round of applause..."

I was thinking more like this product was a prelude to a Soylent Green type culture where we incorporated smells from the past while consuming modern nothingness.
