We asked some experts for their views on the wasabi fire alarm.


Caitlin
i would rather smell bacon rashers!
ROB S
ANYTHING TO DO WITH FOOD IS GREAT! :P
Lucy
i love it but i dont like my nose stinging!!!!

This is a terrible idea. My house is cold, so a fire would probably do it good. Also, i have a sensitive nose.

YES BECAUSE IT WOULDN’T WAKE UP YOUR NEIGHBOURS

what if you’re cooking a meal that has a stronger scent than wasabi? why wasabi? why not somethimg malodourous like cheese (very strong)?

We luuurve the wasabi idea, it is unique and would benefit a lot of people! The Science museum should carry on doing the awarness of products like this and the enviroment!!!!
