For someone with horrible nasal polyps, the announcement from my ENT that he’ll switch me to Prednisone full time could not happen at a better time.
Scratch and sniff all the things!
It’s going to be a smell-abration!

What wonderful news! I hope that in 2021, the USPS will release a set of Smellovision stamps to commemorate the 40th anniversary of John Waters’ Polyester.

I like that their innovating. Last years thermochromic Eclipse stamp was pretty cool. The heat from your finger changed the eclipsed sun into the moon. http://www.perfectpostage.com/blog/wordpress-3.1/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Solar-Eclipse-Stamp-NH.jpg

I’ll see your Polyester and raise you a certain 1970’s era centerfold in Hustler. :flushed:

First, scratch and sniff stamps featuring frozen treats; next, toddlers eat postage stamps en masse. I realize the USPO makes money on stamps that are bought by collectors, but is there a lack of judgement here?

The next thing you know people will be trying to use them to send Tide Pods through the mail!

Sorry… I was thinking we were doing New Yorker cartoon captions.
