Sweet and Sour stamps : Year of the Pig stamps from China

China have released Year of the Pig stamps that taste of sweet and sour pork.

When you scratch the front of the stamps, it smells of the popular chinese dish and when the back of the stamp is licked it tastes of the dish too.

Hm. Although its a welcome idea to make these ‘tiny vehicles of design’ more interactive, I would still hesitate to actually lick them. I prefer more practical self-adhesive stamps. So, if they become collector’s items, what happens to the taste and smell after 20 years, and would you still lick it?
