You could say these Irish villagers are having a hard time as of late. For the last two decades, pharmaceutical company Pfizer have manufactured Viagra, the erectile dysfunction blue pill, in the small Ireland village of Ringaskiddy along the Southern coast. The town and Pfizer appear to have a harmonious relationship with one another, in part because of the “love fumes” that drift from the plant.
Those “love fumes” have granted local males—as well as their dogs—what the Irish Post described as “enormous sexual powers.”
“One whiff and you’re stiff,” barmaid Debbie O’Grady told the Sunday Times. “We’ve been getting the love fumes for years now for free.”
O’Grady’s mother, a local widower, also praised the joy for women who live in Ringaskiddy. With the “love fumes” in the air, it assists men who might struggle in that department.
“I’m a flirtatious woman, a lot of us are,” she said. “You just have to have a spark, that’s all. There’s a lovely man waiting down the road for me”
In a statement to the Irish Post, Pfizer had this to say: “Our manufacturing processes have always been highly sophisticated as well as highly regulated.”
Let’s just hope there remains no hard feelings between Pfizer and the villagers of Ringaskiddy.
