"Eau d'meat" sure sounds sweet?

This just in! Apparently Burder King has launched a new product that's probably going global before your next cup of java; introducing the all new (and all original) meat inspired fragrance. My first question is this: "Does the essence for the fragrance come from real meat drippings in each bottle, or is it completely laboratory-fabricated?" Second: "Will this be available in a veggie-burger spinoff by the coming of the new year?"

I can't help but wonder whether or not this new novelty item will re-tool the world of fragrances as we know it. To my knowledge, nothing has been presented in such carnal terms before. After all, people like to talk about sex in terms of "primal urges" and "animal instincts", and everyone knows that the surest animal instinct is hunger. So the next time someone tells you that they're going to eat you up, it may have nothing to do with your sex appeal (despite the advertisements obvious erotic quality). This leads me to an important query-"Is the eau d'meat non-toxic?"

With so many American meat-lovers uninsured, the last thing we need is for the newest aphrodisiac to send a someone to the emergency room. My guess is that it's entirely toxic and should not be ingested. One might then ponder, "Why wear it at all?" If nothing else it may actually purport satiation and give way to a whole new kind of eating disorder. Lastly, I must admit that I am not at all impressed with BK's marketing angle. Eau d'meat is being distributed as a fragrance for men, which seems sort of counter-intuitive if you ask me.
