I was the worst teacher's pet in elementary school because the teachers gave out smell-good pencils. Then I'd eat the eraser and think of more ways to add to my collection. "Sure, I'll clean your chalkboard!"
I scrapbook, so I have a gazillion stickers, but they're the expensive kind you get at the craft stores. And I'm a teacher, so I have the cheapy stickers to give to kids.
Oddly, now, nothing makes me more nauseous than receiving a department store bill that reeks of perfume. Perhaps my childhood years of inhaling scented markers ruined me on scents on paper.
Mr. Sketch now comes in 18 colors? Blasphemy. We colored with 12 colors, you whippersnappers can color with 12. I never felt like I was missing out on lavender! And if you're going to add colors, how about some flesh tones instead?
"Just watch out for that kid with the name that ends with -obby because he's a klepto. He steals all the smelly markers. Remember those? The teacher would put them out, everybody would freak." Dane Cook, anyone?
Oh, man, I can still remember the smells from my Secret of NIMH scratch and sniff book when I was a kid. Sometimes I will smell cinnamon raisin loaf, and remember it.
I get catalogs from Yankee Candles, and though I don't buy stuff often, I look forward to them because they make scratch-and-sniff decals for all the new scents. Awesome!

That was all the rage in the early 80's.

Anyone remember when they came out with scented crayons? Enjoyable. And yes, the fat scented markers were THE BEST THING EVER.
