Awesome! I want to go spread peanut butter on some right now.
Lol.
Lol, shame I hate celery.
I like the suggestion that you eat celery right before heading out. I used to hate the stuff, but it's because its often really stringy and tough. Good crisp celery is a whole other thing. With cream cheese.
I like celery but I hate it when it gets all stringy.

Ditto.
Also, too bad the existence of pheromones in humans is still unproven.

Just hate the fact that celery is really, really good at sticking itself between my teeth.
It takes more calories to digest celery than are in it, so eating it is like negative calories

So if you eat it while walking it's the ultimate diet food?
To avoid the nasty stringy bits use a potato pealer and peal away the ribbing (the outer skin don't worry about the underside of the stalk), then chop and serve with the dressing of your choice. Mmmmm. :D
Ewwww, celery is so gross.

Nah, the skin is not a problem. The strings are throughout it.
Ooookay, no more celery for me.
lol Arch.
yeah, good thing I hate celery 8P
Whatever happened to flavorful, non-stringy celery, anyway? The stuff we get nowadays is horrible. I remember liking celery when I was a kid, and I didn't gag on the strings like I do now (if I don't remove them).
Hmm. Gotta do something about that gag reflex. Maybe I should practice on some celery...

How did you look even more handsome as a guy than me, transgendered and all?
You look like Robert Pattison.
<I'm in my avatar, pre-cutting my hair off, and I don't even look that handsome as a guy.

Pretty much lol
I guess I'm the only one who doesn't get stringy celery. :P yeah there are some kind of stringy bits all throughout but the only ones that really bothered me were in the skin which I'd peal off. Then it's all good. :P

*snort*
And did you eat it with peanut butter and raisins ala Ants on a Log? I didn't notice the stringiness and aftertaste that much when it was smothered in that stuff...
Lol, WHAT? xD
Celery is foul! O_x :D Sticks in my teeth and tastes like watered-down pepper. x_x
What is this I don't even
..I LOVE celery and I eat it when I get the chance but..this is too funny

Peanut butter or plain. No raisins. I'll have to try that sometime.
Oh, wait, forgot that I'm giving it up. >:-)
mmmm! Celery - I love it - and its root version Celeriac. Maybe that explains why I've occasionally been told that I can turn some straight women Bi! hehe! >:-)
Celery also has the virtue of taking more calories to digest tha it gives you back - so it's great for losing weight too!

Well...from what I understand, it's more of a break-even point and only slightly to the negative. So adding celery to your regular diet won't really do anything for you unless you're talking about eating an entire...head? a day for a whole year, or something. But if you consistently eat celery instead of something else that makes you gain weight, that should help.
But, wouldn't you have to sweating for it to have an effect? In any case, I'd be more interested in the negative calorie effect more than the attraction, I do like women but, I am married so, I could care less about attracting people with pheromones.
