Scientists have finally developed Smart Underwear that tracks bacteria by measuring farts. Do you think you'd wear these Smart Underwear?

This is a piece of technology that we might not have asked for but we're getting anyways. I'm sure there are advantages to it. I've long complained on Dave & Chuck The Freak about how there's not enough variety for men when it comes to underwear. Ladies can choose silk, lace, thong, and more. Men...we can choose color? Boxers or briefs? Not exciting. Now, finally, we have a new option thanks to this Smart Underwear!

How does it work? According to Study Finds, a wearable sensor clips onto your underwear and monitors guy bacteria activity by measuring hydrogen gas in flatulence for up to a week on a single battery! Study Finds says a study showed participants passed gas 32 times a day on average which is more than people would self-report.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
