Jet lagged? Perk UP with Viagra!

Here’s something I had never heard of before. We all know the most common reason for someone to take Viagra, and it’s got nothing to do with airplane travel. But apparently, there’s been a little bit of buzz about how Viagra, besides its obvious use, can help treat jet lag in travelers.

Smell your city of choice

At first glance, this is one of the strangest “gadgets” I have ever seen or heard of - the AIR is a bubble that will use your olfactory memory to remind you of different cities. Hilda Kozari created three bubbles that replicate the smells of Helsinki, Budapest, and Paris.
Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? And […]
