Supermarket Smells - Joke



Sunday 6th May 2007 - 10:04:56 AM

Have you ever been picking out fresh broccoli at your local grocery store when you hear the crackle the warns of the mister and you think you have enough time to grab your little green bunch but then the water starts and gets your hand wet? No? Hmm, I must be the only one. I don’t remember those mister things even existing when I was a child. Or maybe I was just never close enough to the vegetables to notice.

Here’s a fun chuckle…

The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don’t buy toilet paper there any more.

Fun facts about the sense of smell:

If your nose is at its best, you can tell the difference between 4000-10,000 smells!

Humans use insect warning chemicals, called pheromones, to keep away pesky insects!

People who cannot smell have a condition called Anosmia.

As you get older, your sense of smell gets worse. Children are more likely to have better senses of smell than their parents or grandparents.

Dogs have 1 million smell cells per nostril and their smell cells are 100 times larger than humans!
