"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Seeking the perfect holiday gift for the golfer who has everything? Try flavoured golf tees.
U.S. inventors John Packes and Ramon Peralta have come up a product line called Tasty Golf Tees in various flavours including mint, cherry, strawberry, and grape.
Mint is the strongest-tasting flavour in the range.
"It will knock out the foulest of cigar, beer breath within five seconds," Packes of Norwalk, Connecticut, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Packes said they came up with the idea while walking along the fairway one day and noticing that many golfers popped a tee in their mouth as they headed to the next hole or waited to tee up.
Tasty Golf Tees, which cost about 25 cents each, are made from uncoated wood, which is sanitised and flavoured. They look and play like regular wooden golf tees.
"Some people just look at you funny," said Packes. "'Do you really put it in your mouth?' They give it a shot and say 'This is kinda cool.'" "
Flavored golf tees. What is this world coming to? Next theyre gonna come out with edible golf balls, and you know what happens next. Some half-brained golfer who skipped lunch is going to get the urge and go in for a bite of the edible ball on the flavored tee, like it was some sort of 2 course meal, and get his head wacked off. This company must have a deal with a law firm, cause there's going to be lawsuits galore once people start thinking they can suck on a golf tee. As if golf wasn't funny enough before.
