Olfactory Attraction

I’ve been driving a lot lately. And at intersections it seems like I’ve been surrounded by young men who are piloting very expensive vehicles. I make various judgments about these fellows. I assume, for example, that they are internet billionaires with lots of money to spend. Or, they live in their parents’ garage apartment and spend their entire paycheck leasing a fancy car. But in every case, I suspect and feel fairly confident that each and every one is trying to attract friends with their show of affluence. The thing that puzzles me is their application of olfactory attraction.

In my observation, almost 50% of these young men are hanging those pine tree shaped car deodorizers from their rear-view mirrors.

Now, I understand that a small, enclosed space can become a little, shall I say, aromatic from time to time. But apparently it’s all the rage to publicize that to potential riders by hanging tangible evidence of your need to mask odors.

So, I’m proposing a business venture that is perhaps worthy of a visit to Shark Tank. I propose we manufacture and sell large magnetic signs that boldly say:

This could be yuge.
