(From my "Instructions Not Included" blog.)
Ever run across something that just absolutely cracks you up? For no other reason than the absurdity of it all?
Well, I found Perpetual Kid, (www.perpetualkid.com) a website that offers all kinds of "kid stuff," for grownups.
The Dirt Cologne was my favorite.
The description of this cologne reads as follows:
Invoke memories of endless summer days playing outside in the dirt and mud. This cologne was created to smell exactly like the dirt from fields surrounding a Pennsylvania family farm.
Demeter creates scents that are drawn from memories to transport a person back to a special place or time.
Everyone has a personal library of meaningful smells. The memories they trigger are somehow more intense than those we dredge up by conscious effort. It's as if smell provides a shortcut to our deepest memories and brings them back complete with the emotions and sensations we felt at the time.
But wait! That's not all! You can smell like Crayons or glue or even marijuana should you desire. While I LOVE the smell of a new box of Crayons, I really don't love it enough to spray that scent on my body. If I want to be transported back to a more innocent age, I'll open a box of Crayons, or a bottle of glue and breathe deeply.
If I want to smell dirt, I'll sniff my kid or open the back door and breathe it all in.
Who buys this stuff? Who actually shells out the bucks so they can smell like DIRT?
Consider me officially boggled.

lmao. Seriously? That's got to be stretching it. The only people I can see wanting that are sad mother's basement dwelling mid life crisis basket cases with no girlfriends. Too funny. Great find.
