SEXY FRIDAY

Garlic makes you sexy?

So every now and then we want to introduce you to a classic case of “I bet you never expected that.” Whereas most sane people stay as fart away from garlic as they can if they’ve got a night planned which might involve some romancing, research has shown that we should actually be doing quite the opposite. At least the man should. This research conducted by Appetite, focusing on food and drinks, shows that a good amount of garlic makes the male scent even more attractive. Say what?!

These researchers had half of their subjects eat a cheese sandwich with a whole lot of garlic, and the other half eat a regular cheese sandwich. They were asked not to use any deodorant, not to smoke and not to use any cologne. They then placed cotton pads underneath their armpits for 12 hours to soak up their body odor. A week later they did the same thing but reversed the roles. Those who had had garlic now didn’t and vice versa.

Enter the female subjects. They were asked to smell the cotton pads and indicate how “attractive” and “manly” they smelled. Who would have ever known how much time would go into this? But anyways, the result: tadaa the garlic eaters came out on top as the more “attractive” smelling ones of the bunch. So the conclusion is: garlic apparently makes you irresistible.

Just a quick side note, the amount of garlic you need to eat is astounding, so guys: you know what you have to do.
