Today I started the day riding a bus that smelled like turkey dinner, as if the driver started his shift with an aromatherapy spray bottle in hand, filled with Thanksgiving that he spritzed to create ambiance and cover up whatever odor the bums left the night before.
That would be something if holidays could be bottled up and sprayed to create a mood or a memory. Just imagine who could benefit from such a thing: psychiatrist's offices could spray cotton candy scent at Easter - well, no, strike that, not every person celebrates Easter, and judging on why they're at the psychiatrist's office - may not have good memories associated with Easter...let's see, what else?
Mega Marts could have the smell of pine needles and gingerbread cookies to really hook spenders into getting in the "spirit" of - well, not being very spiritually aware. And Johnnie Brock's Dungeon could be filled with the smell of Belgian chocolate.
Or maybe holiday smells that contain food should only be sprayed in restaurants and grocery stores.
