I wish I could take a Sea Breeze can from one of those vending machines that sell snacks, chips and sodas. Unfortunately they all sell just snacks, chips and sodas. I wonder why in this creative, resourceful, and business oriented world, nobody (researchers, designers, fashionistas, environmentalists, priests) ever thought of canned senses, flavors, and fumes as rewarding goodies. We know the scented candle cans, the (obnoxious) fragrant toilet paper, the flavored condoms and even the viewy Comme des Garçons’ anti-perfumes (…as they say: clone odors from inorganic materials such as the freshness of oxygen, freshly mowed grass, wash drying in the wind – my favorite!…etc), but these are just innuendos. We are not actually sensing the wash drying in the wind smell, but its idea.
I wish I could just drop a coin in the machine’s coin slot, press the button, and as easy as that, get a can of Sea Breeze…
…open it, and deeply inhale its puff of the moist and salty freshness...
