The BBC reports on the creation of Harris Tweed that smells like Scotch:
The “smart fabric” has been developed for Johnnie Walker Black Label and Harris Tweed Hebrides.And: the smell resists dry cleaning.
The scent called Aqua Alba has been designed to replicate aromas released from a glass of whisky, known as the nose of the liquid.
According to Johnnie Walker, the cloth smells of “rich malt, golden vanilla, red fruit and dark chocolate tones.”
The first of Neil Postman’s six questions is relevant here: “What is the problem to which this technology is a solution?”

Hmmm...does that mean some day I'll be able to walk into a fabric store and order two yards of Johnny Walker Black? Cool beans!
Perhaps even a quarter yard of Bacardi, with a silk chaser? Oh, the wonders of this world!
There’s got to be an opening for beer here too. It would be so Simpsons-esque.
What problem is this the solution to? SOMETIMES when the traffic cop stops you, he DOESN'T offer to give you a breath test.
Very nice.
