According to Chinese Astrology, 2007 is The Year of The Pig, and to celebrate, China Post have issued a new stamp with a twist to celebrate the New Year.
How brilliant are these stamps! Not content with them being dead cute, what with the little piggy pulling it's mum's tail, the designers have added a really bizare twist by making them scratch and sniff stamps that smell like sweet and sour pork AND that taste like sweet and sour pork when you lick them. I'm not sure if that would beat the taste of stamp glue, but I'd be willing to give it a try.
What with 2008 being the Year of the Rat, hopefully China Post won't come out with a limited edition garbage flavoured stamps with pictures of mother rats eating their young. That wouldn't be nearly as cute.

You're absolutely brilliant!
How awesome are these stamps. I work in an office with several people who could actually snag me some of the new stamps. I will give it a go.
Good luck! A friend of mine, Calv, is trying to get some people to try and send them to him as well. I can't wait to see if they actually smell like take away chinese food!
Cute stamps, perhaps the Rat stamps will adorn the smell from NYC the other day...
