alfvaenIn my blog recently, I mentioned the godawful rotten-pine-scented air polluters in the bathrooms outside our office.
I'm not sure if they replaced them, or mixed them, or if they just subsided on their own, but it no longer smells like fetid pine needles. Now it smells like...well, rhubarb.
I know the scent of rhubarb quite well; I loved to eat it as a kid. I knew the leaves were poisonous, of course, but the stalk was good eatin'. None of that sissy dipped-in-sugar crap, either. Raw and freshly pulled out of the ground, if possible. Don't even mention the possibility of boiling it and baking it--yuck.
We had some in our back yard, but when I was in about Grade 5 I often raided some that grew underneath the fence of a house near the school. Didn't bother me one bit. Some people even said that it was a weed! I ask you.
Anyway, I doubt there is actually rhubarb-scented bathroom air freshener, but however it came to be, it's a vast improvement.
