| Other things that should be banned: fake smells |
| Thursday, April 27, 2006 |
This message goes out to smell creators - particularly those canned smells designed to mask bad toilety odours.
You just can't create a chemical spray and name it 'green apple and honeysuckle', when it smells nothing like apple. And I don't know what honeysuckle smells like, but I'm sure it's not at all like what comes out of this spray can.
Please, next time when you're inventing a flavour, try calling it - and this may come as a complete surprise - 'fresh air' and making it do exactly that.
As for 'apple and honeysuckle', I think I'm scarred for life, and should I ever find those flavours together on a dessert menu, I'll have to run quickly to the, er, toilet. |

And joining false apple on the fake smell list is ... da da:
Fake banana (nothing banana-flavoured ever smells like real banana) and wild cherry (there is no such thing as a wild cherry so just name anything red this, ok?)

I have been doing some loo investigations since this post - there are loads of fake toilet smells that don't make sense. My latest discovery is 'sparkling citrus'. I know what an orange smells like, but how do you whiff 'sparkling'?
