Ice cream, chocolate biscuits, champagne, films, tissues. The signs of a breakup. Or signs of giving up cigarettes. But we know, there's probably a better solution for the latter one. So why wouldn't we use patches in case of a broken heart, that would help [giving up love](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyday-calm-by-barrire)?
Of course, these aren't real, but we hope at least it puts a smile on the face of the user.

A box costs only 9,50 euros, and contains 12 patches. It is also available in â€œWorkâ€ and â€œTVâ€ versions. Probably we all know someone, who could make use of at least one of them.
