Today's New Invention!

What if restaurants and waiting rooms had scratch-and-sniff walls?  So while you are waiting to see your dentist, for example,  you could go around the room and scratch certain parts of the wall and smell different things. Is this totally impracticle, like a nose hair trimmer that simultaneously scratches your chin when you use it or a toilet that plays Neil Diamond's "America," when you flush it?

Disclaimer: I'm not sure what my deal is in writing "today" in the title of these last two posts, cause it implies that I may be doing this everyday, and I won't.

Scratch and Sniff walls in a dentist's waiting room, brilliant. That is until you come across a scent that was bad breath created from a person not flossing and/or brushing their teeth after attending a barmitzfa on a weekly basis. I agree that shnozberry scented walls would be ridiculously awesome.

I was just thinking about how scratch-n-sniff walls could affect people waiting in a hospital waiting room(lounge) awaiting their Colonoscopy. It could be like the food's warning their family; "eat healthier or colonoscopy!"
The numerous stenches from countless foods, both foreign and domestic, could be put into the nostrils of anyone willing to scratch at the wall. "Oh, planter's peanuts...wait; I can't have them or colonoscopy."
Do peanuts have a smell?
