Scented yoyos…a new gimmick. The scent can match the color. They make toilet paper holders that emit a scent when spun so why can’t yoyos be the same? Scented strings anyone? ---

> [@anon19434144](#): > > Scented yoyos…a new gimmick I got a set of string in a poly bag from somewhere (I want to say Vietnam? Thailand?), and those strings had such an exotic faraway land smell when I opened the bag. I don’t mean the plastic smell of poly, I’m honestly telling you it was the smell of a fabric store in a strange place with different soaps, candles, and fragrances in the air. I just grabbed a few and smelled them again. Fascinating. They still smell like that. It’s like travelling with your nose. I get this same effect from some packages that I open, they smell like the place they came from… not in a bad way! Not joking here, totally serious! ---
