Um, there are dumber ideas than this. And they actually exist. Why does this particular one HAVE to be a hoax? Just because it has its own website? Wow, bad judgment.

Sorta reminds me of the John Waters film from way back, "Polyester", starring Tab Hunter and Glen Millstead (Divine). Attending theater -goers were given a "scratch-and-sniff" card with six or so scents, and pop-ups throughout the film denoting the appropriate time to, well, scratch and sniff. Ah, the good old days. sniff

There are a few subtle hints, such as the totally silly and joking manner in which the whole thing is written (including further "product updates", as well as the minor detail that you can't seem to actually buy the stuff. And then there's the way in which every single one of the articles about it on their website happen to be dated April 1, including the ones that are supposed to have been written well after the others. Which all combined tends to imply that it's a joke. . .
