It stinks in here!

More viewing of HGTV this weekend has again reaffirmed my belief that the world must smell terrible. I cannot believe the variety of air fresheners that are used to mask the stink of our homes. The old methods of “freshening” the air seem to be on the way out. I remember my aunt had a puck that stuck to the side of the bathroom cabinet. It never really freshened the air, but it made a funny noise when you turned it. Sprays are old news … because air freshener scientists are hard at work to provide you with artificial smell in a variety of forms. The plug-ins have been around for a while, but now they come with fans to push the smell out. There is the type that has a puff of scent that you can actually see! Did you know that you can SEE smell! Well the good people at Glade have made this possible. There are air fresheners on a timer – so that you can get a fresh burst of smell every few minutes, depending on how often you think it’s needed. I’ll bet lawyers are just waiting for the first lawsuit where these gadgets spray someone in the eye. But likely the air freshener lawyers have put a warning label that you must wear eye protection when around these gadgets. There are scented oils and candles that can burn down your house and make it authentically pine smelling. Then there are the decorative air fresheners that you are not embarrassed to place out in the plain view because they are so darn pretty. In fact – they could be mistaken for a work of art! Wouldn’t it be great at your next dinner party if your house smelled like lilacs and you could show off your smelly sculpture! This will change the world of art!
