Ahhh... the smell of the season....
Retailers are now engaging in a war of the senses to encourage folks to spend more money - they're pumping scents into the air conditioning etc to encourage shopping.
Two weeks ago in San Francisco, the California Milk Processor Board had to
take down ads in bus shelters that gave off the scent of chocolate chip
cookies. Spokeswoman Molly Ireland said she had received complaints from
several groups, including an anti-obesity organization and people with
diabetes. Taunting them with the smell of off-limits cookies was just cruel,
they said.The milk board took down the ads a day after putting them up.
One day we can look forward to more of this... they'll paint visitor's locker rooms a soothing pink with the smell of lavender... or operatives will release methane at opposing political rallies... and as far as I'm concerned that day will be a glorious one. Freedom of speech? how about Freedom of stench?
