Name That Odor Smell Aroma

Strange Goings On…


My regular readers might have noticed that I’ve missed writing a new posting a couple of days over the past week because I was busy or otherwise didn’t have anything to say worth writing. (Some might say that is true every day here on this blog)

This morning I’m in a similar boat—not feeling like ranting about life in general or jumping in on the commentary about President Bush’s speech last night on immigration.

I wanted something lighthearted to talk about, and my reliable old buddies over at the Local6 website, as usual, didn’t let me down.

Take a look at this story about "Play-Doh" perfume:


PAWTUCKET, R.I.—It’s one of the most unique smells around. And now you can wear it.

Hasbro is continuing its celebration of Play-Doh's 50th anniversary by releasing "Eau de Play-Doh," a perfume designed to smell just like the kids' modeling clay.

Spokesman Gary Serby said Play-Doh's smell is one of its most enduring memories, and Hasbro figures smelling the perfume will transport people back to their childhood.

It sells for $19 a bottle.


Play-Doh perfume?

Are they serious?

They actually think this is going to sell because it will “transport people back to their childhood”?

If a woman came up to me smelling like Play-Doh, I’m not sure that I could stop myself from saying something and it might not be the kind of comment that she was expecting.

If this stuff actually sells, I’m going to run out to the patent office with a couple of my own ideas because I don’t want to miss out on this potential gold mine.

Take a look and see if these fragrances will “transport” you anywhere…


Would you buy a cologne or perfume that was named or smelled like:

Mimeograph Fluid (for all of the former teacher’s aides from the 1960’s and 1970’s)

Toe Jam (for those out there with a “foot fetish”)

Jelly Bean

Locker Room

Grass Stain

Grass Stain with Doggie Poo

Model Airplane Glue

Kitty Litter

Windex

Pine Sol

Old Spice (oops…they already make that one)

Old Tennis Shoe (see “Toe Jam” above)

Hush Puppies (the shoes, new used or otherwise)

Hush Puppies (the food)

Sushi (an exotic aroma from the far east…)

“Space Food Sticks” (for all the astronaut wannabe’s)

Athletic Supporter (for all the rabid college alumni in your family)

Hey all you married guys, it just hit me that there is an over looked cologne out there that would greatly improve your image.

I’d call it HOUSE WORK.

And finally, for the ladies, I believe that the most successful perfume aroma that is not yet produced and would be absolutely GUARANTEED to attract men, no matter what personality or appearance God gave you, would be…

NEW CAR

Anyone out there got any more suggestions?

I’m listening…

UPDATE:

Here's a couple of other fragrances that I forgot earlier:

Retread (for those women that have gotten remarrried--to their ex-husbands)

Watermellon (it would also contain a green dye...so you'd be green on the outside)

Squash Casserole (children would fear you)

Poison Ivy (for all the Batman fans out there)

Naugahyde (made from the hides of thousands of innocent little Naugas)

Kiddy Pool (You never know what it will smell like)

Sock Drawer (Self Explainitory)
