Whale vomit worth $295k!

[Lord Blackadder]

This is the weirdest news you'll read today.

Next time I go to the beach I'm keeping my eyes open!

Have literally just read this on the BBC site & was on my way over to post it.

Absolutely bizarre. It seems odd that crusty whale vomit is one of the most sought after perfumes. I wouldn't recommend trying this at home with any other kind of vomit.

 

[ExoticFish]

wow.... whale throw up. i really want to know what that smells like since they use it in perfume. then again, have you smelled most of the perfume out there? this is all starting to make sense.

 

[Sdashiki]

AMBERGRIS.

jeez, watch futurama losers.

also there is Civet (or bobcat?) urine in ALOT of high end perfumes.

 

[joepunk]

I really did get sick to my stomach just now. Not Joking there.

yuk!

 

[Counterfit]

Ah, so THIS is why all perfumes smell like concentrated ass.

lmao

This article clearly indicates that man kind is evolving. What we are evolving into is another issue...

Don't find US$295,000 (£165,300) sickening

Isn't nature wonderful?

But considering how much perfume this will make, I think its one gram per gallon or something that extreme for perfume oil never mind eau de toilette , so the perfume maker can make huge profits off this.
And it does smell really nice, my grandmother has a vial of this, she has had forever and it still smell very strong and pleasant

I don't think we want to know any more about the kind of sex you have.

 

[Lord Blackadder]

I don't care how nasty it is, for $295k I'd tickle the whale's throat myself.

More like, a weeks worth of digested and undigested seafood.

whale oil and whaling were an important of our history. this is another whale fluid. i guess.
but eww.....................

 

[CompUser]

Did you know bonanza come from "good weather" in spanish.

I watched jeopardy today.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

the fact that its got to spend 10 years floating around in the ocean to cure is nuts.

So next time I'm on the beach, I'll be looking for this stuff

1 pound of the stuff would be $9,000 - that's awesome!

D

ya know...this seems like one of those "where'd they get the idea things."
who was the guy to say "hey--let's take this whale vomit thats been out at sea for several years, mix it with a bunch of oils and such, and spray it on ourselves. i'm sure it smells good!"
