Scratch 'n Sniff Stamps

User avatar
With all the trouble that The People's Republic of France has brought upon itself endured over the past few leftist administrations years, one would think it would get its priorities in order.

But no, France's government has higher and nobler ideals to pursue, like "sex-proof" cardboard beds for the Olympic dormitories (to prevent world-class athlete orgies) and scratch and sniff postage stamps.

The new scratch and sniff "Baguette" stamp celebrates the French bread that smells good and turns rock hard soon after you take it home (much like most French first dates).


While the "sex-proof" beds are all-around moronic, scratch and sniff stamps is a concept that may actually catch fire. Although the first such stamp—issued in 1793—failed miserably and is practically forgotten.

Marie Antoinette's 1793 "Let Them Eat Cake" stamp was the first scratch and sniff. It smelled like cake but The French Revolution lopped the head off the innovation before it could catch on.

Hopefully, the USSA Postal Commissariat won't try this gimmick: the results could be disastrous:

And to answer 'pelipsky's question, this is what a White House scratch n' sniff might look like:

That is exactly what ‘pelipsky was thinking, Colonel O.

What about a Dark Branden Presidential LSD blotter page stamp? Don’t know if there is an accompanying smell or sniff test. Or how much the Dark Brandon image will be absorbed into the porous paper, ‘pelipsky leaves that in the hands of the artist.

The artist isn't posting anything until the glitches are fixed. This is what I see for the "Reply" button:

and I have to post an image then re-edit before things go back to normal.

What if it’s Hillary’s Macedonian Server Farm hackers, Colonel O? Does this mean TPC Secret Underground Bunker Waffle House location has been infiltrated to an effort to break our Red Square Solidarity? If so, let’s see what our finest moment can be using corregated cardboard and some duct tape!

Or, should we go on strike until work conditions improve?
