Spicy aircon kills bird flu, says company
February 14 2006 at 10:32AM
Seoul - South Korea's LG Electronics said on Tuesday that it had begun selling a new air conditioner equipped with a filter made out of kimchi that destroys the killer bird flu virus.
The new air conditioner filters the air through a chemical mix that includes an enzyme extracted from kimchi, which is reportedly capable of eliminating the H5N1 virus.
"It is too early to tally the sales figures yet but we believe the new air-con will sell very well," company spokesperson Jo Chang-Hyun told AFP.
Kimchi is a spicy fermented vegetable dish made with red peppers, radishes and a lot of garlic and ginger.
Koreans eat kimchi with almost every meal.
