“If you saved the mall smell, you’d see that people were obsessed with cassia cinnamon,”

Or, perhaps, that there was a goddamn Cinnabon stinking up each and every mall.

wintergreen became popular in chewing gum and toothpaste in the United States after World War II, but to the British, the smell would have evoked sickness, since it was used in ointments to treat the wounds of soldiers

Hmm, for some reason the smell/taste of wintergreen has always reminded me of urinal cakes (not that I know how they taste, of course, but the scent is off putting and the taste just nasty. I’m too long to remember WWII smells, but possibly the smell/taste lingered.

Just ate two Wintergreen TicTacs—god they are disgusting.

Preserving smells does make sense as part of history I guess, but if we can preserve the formula, that should be enough, shouldn’t it?
