Stickets

Back in the late 70's/early 80's, I was the equivalent of a dealer on a street corner with scratch 'n sniff stickers. My fellow 2nd graders would meet me in the hallway before the first bell rang, I would pull out my trusty envelope of 'goods' and the transactions would commence.

Well it's true w...morehat they say about addictions running through the gene pool. My daughters both tend to sniff everything with gusto. Mostly things that are ok. We've had the "spray paint can" discussion, don't worry. But we are a family that likes to smell stuff.

And while dealing stickers might put a bit of spare change in my pocket, it isn't my true motivation for trying to bring back the scratch 'n sniff sticker craze. I just really love them to this day. So I pop them on presents, cards, etc whenever I get the chance.

If there are any "recovering sniffers" from the 80's like myself out there, here's a link that made me literally yelp out loud in delight:

"Bubbledog" has an online gallery of all the stickers we knew, loved and smelled from the 80's. Sad to say, but I literally teared up when I saw some of them. Wow did it bring back memories....

And one last link:
