That you can buy ‘flatulence-beating’ knickers?

I’ve just seen some adverts in the loos at Killington Lake Services on the M6.

In my simple way, I thought it was advertising Shreddies the breakfast cereal, and that eating them would minimise flatulenceconfusedhmmgrin

well you learn something new every day! I'm fascinated by the thought of those knickers. Anyone out there tried them and do they work?!!!!

janeainsworth I don't think Kellogs would have much claim because the word 'shreddies' has been used fir a long time to mean underpants. He is exmilitary and has always called them shreddies (or sometimes grundies).

Not heard that daisyboots but I’ve heard them referred to as ‘trollies’ in the past grin

Because you would never guess what the second chap along is doing would you?

(That from their website, "how to stand whilst farting for most effective use of the pants"

To borrow an overused adjective from the DM, that was hilarious.

A quote from the Pinkpantaloon website:
Exquisitely crafted underwear for gentlemen who like to stand out from the crowd. presumably because they aren't wearing their trousers blush hmm grin

Well, you learn something new everyday! Anyone know if they're worth buying?

This thread made me laugh out loud and reminded me of the much-missed Sir Terry Wogan. The Togmeister often used to say that trapped wind wasn't a problem, it was when it escaped that the real trouble started!
