The Food Sniffer - would you like one?

Nowt new!
Newer version requires a seperate handset as well.
The not so good
Those sensors are delicate. Don’t put it too close to the food or you risk damaging them and rendering the entire device pretty much useless.
Also, the device will only work with pork, beef, poultry and fish. If your tastes run to the little more exotic, you’ll have to rely on your good sense to decide if it’s safe to consume or not.

So are you saying that if the dog sniffs and eats it, you would eat it?
Well if the dog refused to eat it after sniffing it, would you?
Have done - but not the other way round!
Depends on what it is. He has been known to turn his nose up at deli meats.

And umm;
How much does this thing cost?
Seriously? I think I got a pretty good big nose for smelling things, unless I have a bad cold. Why would I want to spend money on something to partially replace what God has given us naturally? Our noses! I mean, isn't this a waste of time & money? I think so.
I'm totally surprised that this gadget hasn't gotten into the hands of that As-Seen-on-TV company that likes to push crappy kitchen gadgets.

Sit right there! I can find other useful things to spend $100 on.
If you want the one I posted, I will put him on the next plane but he costs about a dollar a day for food. Oh and he needs a big bed and lots of blankets.And umm;

Both myself and my wife are clearly super-humans - we both have had such a device since birth situated in the centre [sorry] of our faces.
