Shannon with the Decades of Smells. Now, explain this to me.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Okay, so my husband Lisa and I were at dinner
the other night and he's actually in studio, so it
is kind of funny that I'm doing this topic right now,
and we were waiting for our food and he randomly
came up with this game that we called Decades of Smells.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
And so how it.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Works is he threw out a decade, so for example,
the two thousands, and you had to think of as
many smells as you could that you remember from the
two thousands. So for example, for me, that would be
walking into an Abercrombie and Fitch store, you immediately know
that smell Victoria's Secret love Spell. That every girl was

(01:00):
wearing Viva La Juicy perfume Australian gold sunscreen because everybody
wanted like the tan of all tans. But you can
associate a smell with a decade, and it's so easy
to do.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
You can just keep going.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And are they always like perfumeing smells or is it
any kind of smell? Can it be like a food
smell or something?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
It could be a food it could be a food smell.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Somebody's bad because I'd like this decade to I'm telling
you the.

Everybody that was the nineteen nineties, wasn't that was the nineties?

Speaker 4 (02:10):
