Food-scented discs?

Okay, this is where I draw the line: discs that release scents while playing to get you in the mood to order pizza!

Hell, no! Not in my player you don't! Seriously, does anybody else think this is a good idea?

It would never happen in the U.S. because if someone happens to be allergic to the smell from the disc, there would be a big lawsuit. And physical rentals are disappearing in the U.S. (Redbox aside) anyway.

There was a theatrical format called "Smell-O-Vision" that was used for Mike Todd's film, "Scent of Mystery" in 1960 (although probably only for the roadshow presentations), which was also shot in 70mm. They would release odors into the theatre, but in 1960, smoking was still permitted in movie theaters, so you probably couldn't smell the odors over the cigarette smoke.

The 1981 John Waters movie "Polyester" had a gimmick called "Odorama", where viewers could smell what they saw on screen through scratch and sniff cards.
