(B)ad Flavour

I totally agree with the Censor Board of India when they say that they want to ban the ads of the flavoured condoms (DKT's XXX) which are currently being aired on television channels. I would say "Why only during the day? Ban it completely"

It has happened atleast thrice so far that the ad has come up when I have been watching India play the Champions Trophy matches with my folks at home. To add to the already miserable feeling I am undergoing seeing India loose, this lewd ad does not even allow me to sit comforably in the living room. It feels so awkward sitting with elderly parents and staring at the TV when the lady asks "What is your flavour of the night?". Apparently, the product comes in 3 flavours.. Banana, Strawberry and Chocloate.

And why are the company officials saying "The flavoured condoms were not meant to promote oral sex, but to encourage couples who do not like the smell of latex". I thought flavour was more to do with taste and not smell.

Eeks. Another cringe worthy ad.
But here is something to read regarding your last statement, check out the wikipedia section on olfaction under olfaction and taste.

"Olfaction, taste and trigeminal receptors together contribute to flavor. The human tongue can only distinguish among 7-8 distinct types of taste, while the nose can distinguish among hundreds of substances, even in minute quantities."
