Bring back the 80's scratch and sniff :) I remember there were a wealth of S/S stickers and pens when I was little... not sure if it was wise for kids to be sniffing pens all day though...

I wish I understood how "scratch and sniff" actually worked. I've been so curious since I was wee.

i still have a scratch and sniff strawberry sticker that I got in the 2nd grade, tucked away in a little sticker book. It still smells... there's also a peanut scented sticker from 2nd grade as well :)

My guess is that they scent w/e the scratch and sniff is then they seal it with something, so when you're scratching you're removing the seal to release the scent.


On that note... there were scented Strawberry Shortcake pops, but i'm not sure how well they did.

Interesting idea, but my collection is either behind glass or in their boxes. So I would not get a chance to smell them much. Still, I think a lot of people would like the idea.

I loved putting them in my backpack so my whole bag would smell good. Those things were strong at the beginning. Over time just a faint smell.

Scented ad icons is great, though it may just work for cereal. Unless they could pull off a hamburger smell for bobs big boy :)

best way to get people to get those pops out of boxes, imo. Unless they put a S/S sticker on the outside for all to smell...

Yes. I hope they do! I got my daughter the Strawberry shortcake pops which are scented and she went crazy for them. So did I. Lol! That would be awesome if they made the cereal icon ones scented!!!! :D

Yes, I think scented would be cool, think strawberry shortcake was scented.

If tony they could get Tony the Tiger to smell like Frosted Flakes cereal milk it would be a must have.

I remember those! They were the best.

I love my scented Strawberry Shortcake and friends Pops -- especially when I have to do something near them because the entire space around them smells awesome. So I'd definitely be in for scented ad icons

Yeah, they actually smell really good. Well there was one of them that didn't, can't remember which one (Pieman I think?) but the others smelled good and were accurate to the figure. The one thing that gets a little strange is when you group them together, the smells all mix together into kind of a strange scent.

If Funko decides to do this, they would need to make a new mold for Lotso and have him smell like strawberries. I would buy this one immediately.
