西雅圖公司推出培根香味內褲
For anyone still wondering what to get the person who has everything this Christmas, one Seattle-based company might well have come up with the perfect unique - and bizarre - solution in the form of bacon-scented underwear.
如果你發愁送什麼聖誕禮物給一個什麼都有的人，那麼這家總部位於西雅圖的公司會給你一個完美、獨特又奇異的培根香味內褲。
Food-focused brand J&D's, which specializes in all manner of bacon-themed products, from bacon salt to bacon-scented pillowcases, has launched a new line of meaty underwear, available for both men and women, which are infused with a strong smell of bacon.
J&D's是一家專注於食品的品牌，尤其專業做各種以培根爲主題的東西，從培根鹽到培根味枕套，現在又新推出男女款肉味內衣，這種內衣上有濃濃的培根味。
Using what they describe as 'advances in bacon-scented printing technologies from NASA', the creators of the unique bacon-y briefs explain that they have 'married the ultimate in comfort and cured meat' in order to create the racy design.
創造出這款獨特的培根內褲的公司聲稱他們採用了源自NASA並加以革新的培根氣味印染技術，解釋說，爲了製造這款火辣內褲，他們“將極致的舒適和培根完美結合在了一起”。
'J&D's Bacon Scented Underwear represents the gold standard of meat-scented luxury undergarments,' the website description says of the underwear. 'It's like a hot frying pan in your pants.'
該網站是這樣描述這款內褲的：“J&D's的培根味內衣代表了肉香味豪華內衣的最高品質。就好像有一個熱煎鍋在你的褲子裏。”
In order to infuse the underwear with a bacon-y scent which would last beyond a first-time wear, the creators of the bacon-scented lingerie embedded the fragrance into the ink used in its design, a technology which was indeed first created by NASA.
爲了在內衣中注入持久的培根氣味，設計者將肉味香料加入染料當中，這項技術的確是NASA首創的。
And according to Justin and Dave, the two men behind J&D's, the underwear's bacon scent 'will last through multiple wash cycles and wearings', with the website then adding a cheeky caveat that the length for which the aroma lasts 'depends on the number of wearings and the strength of your own scent'.
據J&D's公司創始人賈斯丁和戴夫說，該內衣的培根氣味“在多次洗滌和穿着後仍會保留”，該網站還厚臉皮地警告說，內衣的香味持久度“取決於洗的次數和你自己的體味濃度。”
The J&D's website also suggests that wearers wash their bacon-scented underwear, which retails for $19.99 a pair, with unscented detergent so as not to detract from the meaty scents with any other perfumes.
J&D's的網站也建議穿着者洗這一款價值19.99美元的培根味內衣時，使用無味的洗衣液，以免其他香味沖淡了肉的氣味。
Unsurprisingly, many people took to social media to question the exact purpose of the porcine pants.
意料之中的是很多人在社交媒體上質疑生產這款肉味內褲的目的。
'Apparently bacon-scented underwear is a thing now. I'm not really sure why?' one person commented on Twitter, while another joked: 'Bacon-scented underwear. Not recommended for mail men, circus performers, hikers and owners of dogs with large teeth.'
一個人在推特上評論道，“很明顯培根氣味內衣已經面世，我真的不明白爲什麼要有這種東西？”另一個人開玩笑說：“培根味內衣。這對那些郵遞員、馬戲團演員、徒步旅行者和有大牙齒狗的主人不推薦。”
But not everyone was quite so skeptical about the pungent clothing items, with many hailing them as the 'best Christmas present ever'.
但也不是每個人都對這種內衣持懷疑態度，很多人誇這個內衣是“最好的聖誕節禮物”。
