Wouldn't you be bummed to discover that these jokers are toxic? I spent at least 10 minutes a day with my nose in a grape smiley, so I'd be in big trouble.

I met the guy, a fragrance chemist, who invented the technology of "microencapsulation" which is used in scratch-n-sniff and even in modern day perfumes. Fascinating technology and great guy.

I have two cucumber stickers left from my youth. They still smell.

Oh my gosh, yes! I especially remember dill pickle and pine (not in a good way) and root beer and grape (yum). I would have been frightened of "old shoe" or "skunk."

Very cool, and I can even smell them now (through memory, not my screen).

But have you ever wondered what the heck we were really inhaling? That couldn't have been healthy for us.

What did the rainbow smell like?

I had a book with different scratch'n'sniff smells throughout... eventually everything faded except the turpentine.
