Hopefully it is a fad and will pass soon.

This is actually brilliant marketing. The only way to smell the scent is to burn rubber (i.e., wear out the product) and hopefully come back and buy another set. The rice burner croud should eat this up.....

Lavender scent. Sounds like a great accessory to a Miata.

I have used the Fuel O Smell ...
Very fun to put in your buddies tank when rock crawling.

I put banana in my sons and Bubble Gum in my pals.

...Your slow enough and open that you get a whiff .

My Nav and I had a full day of laughter on the trail for the first day of a trip . round the campfire it came out when the Bubble Gum victim asked My son (different truck) where the banana pie was ??? He was laughing thinking he actually had a pie that had been tossed around and destroyed ...
