  Our olfactory calming solution TestEase helps calm the normal heightened fight or flight reactions that are found in any social interaction, allowing you to remain the sole arbiter of your fate at these critical moments! Just insert the calming beige colored TestEase nozzle into your dominant nostril (in most people the right nostril, follow the TestEase nostril exercise routine to determine your dominant nostril [TestEase nostril exercise routine available with paid subscription]) and squeeze the the two rounded sacks at the TestEase base containing the TestEase patented olfactory factors for release, leading to an almost immediate sense of calm and wellbeing suitable for excelling at Job interviews, tests, defusing bombs, or any high stress environment such as meeting your mother in law! TestEase - we put the ease in Test. Alright you HN'ers keep away from my genius idea!!!
