Kimchi conditioners

LG Electronics is introducing a new line of air conditioners that purport to guard against bird flu. Their secret? What else, kimchi!

I've documented the supposed health benefits of kimchi previously, but this article from The Korea Times detailing LG's kimchi air conditioners is all a bit much. LG claim's that the kimchi extract used in the air conditioners is odorless, which I can tell you from my own experience, is a very good thing. I have no quibble with kimchi as a pleasant side dish on the table at dinner. However, recently my Korean neighbours been making kimchi, and lets just say I'm very grateful that the powerful smell of the rotting cabbage doesn't waft into my apartment!
