In response to a late meme that some grocers were electing
to
phase out 'sell by' or expiry dates on certain foods, I propose a
consumers' tool to determine the likelihood one would be
upset by
the product were it purchased and found to be of doubtful or
questionable quality.
Nothing
real technical, like artificial chemical "aging" that
starts
smelling like fresh sauerkraut, say, but starts to smell like
bitter
fennel in a year or so. I'm suggesting a scratch pad that
smells like
bitter fennel, to remind a consumer what they might be
getting if
the product is old. When he opens the product later and
smells
the "bad" product smell, then there's an option to eat it
anyway or
chuck it out.

I automatically approve of all scratch and sniff
ideas, but why not take the smells to a greater
extreme? instead of the realism of bitte fennel you
coukd have Boris's Sweaty Armpit or Poo Under my
Shoe etc. Have this fresh morsel to get you
started. |

On the way to a frilly party... pops into shop... buys boxes of chocolates and jars of rose petal scented delicacies... piles objects into shopping bag... drives 5 miles down bumpy road to party venue... carries bag to door and presents to hostess... who opens the bag to be greeted with the rank fumes of scratch-n-sniff synthetic smelly armpit |

+ This croissant might smell like Sasquatch feet,
but my question is how many times can the mark
be scratched? I was thinking it could go through a
series of smells until the last scratch causes the
product to Disintegrate! |
