“Smell instead of taste” is the motto. The patch releases scents reminiscent of fried bacon.

Nicotine patches are a thing of the past - today people wear bacon

Some experts question the benefits of nicotine patches.
Nevertheless, they are still used by many people who no longer use cigarettes and want to reduce their craving for nicotine. Now there is another patch that is intended to help you avoid meat: the bacon patch.
It was developed at the University of Oxford for people who want to live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle and curb their craving for meat. Charles Spence, an experimental psychologist at Oxford, worked with Strong Roots, a vegetarian food manufacturer.

Smell instead of taste

How does it work? When a person wears this patch and rubs it, scents reminiscent of fried bacon are released.

Charles Spence has been interested in the human sense of taste and smell for many years. He theorizes that perceiving the smell of bacon can actually satisfy one's appetite for meat.

“Studies have shown that scent can reduce food cravings. Our sense of smell is strongly linked to our sense of taste. Bacon flavor can trigger the idea of ​​eating bacon in us. Just the idea of ​​consuming bacon can fill you up.”
