Mmm... Croissant (Anti fish sauce.) |
|
|
Mm... Canned BLT (Bass, Ling and Tuna in a croissant.) |
|
|
Will there be girls behind counters daubing and spraying the samples on you? |
|
|
Mm...Seafood Surprise cat food. |
|
|
Funny, I just bought a pack of water bottle lids that are pre-scented/flavored with lime extract... |
|
|
Hmm... tester bottles for food? Just set out some bottles with smell capsules that re-create the smell of the food inside... |
|
|
some coffee packs have those valves that let you smell the aroma. |
|
|
Oops - you mean they're not to be used as a spare t/i/y/re? |

You know how microwave popcorn always smells so much better than it tastes, that it is actually a disappointment when you finally taste it?
I fear that the wonderful marketing types who emblazon packages with NEW! and COLORFUL! words and pictures will have a field day making damned sure the smells they use have the microwave popcorn effect.
Croissant anyway. |

I just got back from the store where I had trouble choosing an air freshener for my cubicle because most of the containers were sealed shut to prevent evaporation. How frustrating! |
|
|
I did notice that there were some brands that solved this problem by affixing "Scratch-n-Sniff" stickers to the outsides of the packaging. It's not the same as smelling actual product, but at least these companies are aware of the problem. |
|
|
By the way, I ended up buying one with the sticker on it. |

// I fear that the wonderful marketing types who emblazon packages with NEW! and COLORFUL! words and pictures will have a field day making damned sure the smells they use have the microwave popcorn effect. // Who's to say that company's wouldn't use different products or enhance the products in the lids of the products to make it appeal more and you get the MacDonald's effect of buying a "Big Mac" from the picture of a tall, attractive burger and getting a squashed greasy bit of bread layerd with old lettuce and grade C meat. |

Mabey somthing to let the consumer smell the product but then... the problem of tampering with the product. |
|
|
Spice store in my town has little sample jars so you can poke your grubby fingers/nose in there and see what it is like, then buy it hygienically bagged. |

//squashed greasy bit of bread layerd with old lettuce and grade C meat// That makes me hungry just thinking about it, [Punki]. |

While driving through Kansas, I stopped for gas and a coffee and was amazed by the variety and range of potato chip flavors. Struggling to choose between mesquite bleu cheese corn chips, chili peanut ripples and vinegar yoghurt kettle slices, I left empty-stomached. |
|
|
Now if only each bag had a scratch-and-sniff patch and/or maybe a sanitary rip-off-and-lick flap, maybe I could have made a prudent purchase from the plethora of junk food. |
