Have you noticed how many new scent products are on the market these days?

There's a whole industry full of products to make our homes smell good, our cars reek of sunshine, and our toilets bloom with pleasant thoughts.

I like the commercial where the little dog stands next to the plug-in air freshener with a little paper fan tied to his wagging tail. Apparently the man has done something smelly, so the dog, his partner in crime, helps out by fanning the air freshener about the vicinity.

So anyway, we have the smelly candles, the smelly little warm things that plug into outlets, the smelly little outlet fans, the spray-on Frebreze for fabrics, and now...

Drum roll please!

The Febreze Scent Stories Compact Smelly Disc Player!

This thing plays a little "scent story" of five or seven different smells, from what I can tell. It actually looks like a portable CD player!

What kind of "scent story" can you imagine? Think of something with seven scents, or however many, that make a story. Think, say, Making Chili! We can number the scents for clarity.
1. Chopping onions
2. Cooking garlic
3. Meat browning
4. Simmering pot of food
5. Chili burp
6. Dish soap
7. Passing gas

Now there is a scent story that I can follow!

How many can you come up with? How about Going Barhopping!
1. Herbal shampoo and conditioner
2. Perfume
3. Stale cigarettes
4. Margaritas
5. Plate of nachos
6. Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast
7. Throw up

Here's one: Corporate America!
1. Irish Spring
2. Car exhaust
3. Burned, overpriced Starbucks coffee ('taint the quality, its the name, after all)
4. Sickly sweet donuts
5. Supervisor's behind
6. Ass McNuggets
7. Midnight oil

There are a million more scent stories out there. Imagine your own!
