If your excuse for not eating veggies is that the onions make you cry, you might need to find another excuse.
Speaker A:Scientists in Japan have created an onion that will not make your eyes water when you chop them.
Speaker A:They've been working on this for over 20 years and you may start to see them in your stores very soon.
Speaker A:In Japan, they're calling it the Smile Ball.
Speaker A:For real.
Speaker A:It's called the Smile Ball and not only does it not make you cry, it also doesn't smell as much like a regular onion.
Speaker A:It's much sweeter.
Speaker A:Smelling an onion makes your eyes water because it releases a volatile gas when damaged, like when you cut it with a knife.
Speaker A:This gas reacts with moisture that's in your eye and your body creates tears to flush out the irritant.
Speaker A:The Smile Ball has been bred to remove this particular enzyme that's responsible for that while keeping the exact same taste and nutritional values.
Speaker A:Now, it's unclear when exactly we will see them in the us but they are starting to pop up a little bit.
Speaker A:Hopefully broadly soon.
Speaker A:Although the sad thing is they're not called the Smile Ball in America.
Speaker A:Why not?
