According to Poincheval's website, the idea for inventing the pills apparently came from a dinner with friends during which nobody could stop farting.“We were at table with friends and after a hearty meal, almost all of us farted.We almost suffocated(窒息) as our farts were really smelly，” Poincheval writes in his page.“The winds were not very pleasant for our fellow diners.So I knew it was time for me to do something.I can't prevent people from farting, but I can change the smell of the farts.”

　　That horrific dinner, in which a group of several adults seemingly farted uncontrollably in a public space, inspired Poincheval to try his best to find a way to solve the problem of flatulence(肠胃胀气) completely.He claims the pills are made from organic materials like blueberries, fennel and seaweed and that he sells “several hundred bottles a month.”

　　Poincheval told The Telegraph that he had many customers, especially around the holidays.“I sold about 1，500 bottles of the pills this Christmas.People love the pills and I'm very happy because I help them in my own way，” he said.

　　A bottle of 60 pills sells for ￡9.99, or $12.50, which seems shockingly low for something that makes terrible things smell like good things.

　　21．The pills that Christian Poincheval invented can ________．

　　A．help treat some diseases

　　B．make people live longer
