So is “edible” really the word we want to come to mind when selecting a fragrance? I passed a woman in the hall this morning who smelled undeniably like cupcakes. And it had that chemically altered sweetness that signifies that she has not in fact spent the last 18 hrs slaving away in the kitchen, but instead used something artificial.

Now, there are MUCH worse things that someone could smell like. Body odor, rotten eggs, lingering curry, etc. She didn’t smell badly at all. But just passing her made me salivate and that just felt awkward.

Maybe I’m bitter because I can’t have a cupcake as the vending machine is limited to things of the Snickers and Sunchips variety. But could you imagine sitting next to her in a meeting? I’d die of sugar cravings.

There is also a slight chance that I’m going to pick up the ole Bonne Bell frosting flavored lipgloss next time I’m at the drugstore. For exactly these situations.

This has been a post. You’re welcome.
