Does anyone remember the scratch and smell stickers of the 80's

I found some last night in a box of random crap I had in the basement.  (Yes, I am a pack rat).  They should have made one that smelled like a sharpie marker. 

Sorry for the HUGE picture

I used to live for those stickers!! They were the best things in the world!

And I used to come home from kindergarten every day with a colorful nose from sniffing those markers all day.

Yay!  I had a bunch of those!  I looked through them all and kept thinking things like, "Oh!  The grape jelly one!  Ooh... Bubblegum!  Why didn't the bubble-gum machine ones smell stronger?"  etc...

Thanks for the memories!

I used to collect stickers too!  I loved them.  I still do, sort of, but DH has made me tone it down a little, and I don't have as much use for them.  Now I collect fun office supplies instead.

It's funny (or maybe sad) how we used to walk around with our sticker books all the time, and now my neices won't leave the house without their Nintendo DS.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED those! Especially the ones we got at 7/11.

I had (still have) a sticker book that was all the rage - we traded stickers left and right during recess.

LOVED the scratch and sniff stickers.  My school even had a sticker trading club that met once per week at lunchtime in the library.

Uh... I have a set of these that I still use!  Embarrassed

And I went to a training course last year that had them for brainstorming on big flipcharts.  I had a hard time not looking like an idiot as I kept inhaling the marker scents all week!  Haha!

Yes they are!! Right before our wedding I was sorting through my stuff in my parent's basement and found a box of these.. I sat there for hours with the things stuck to my nose. I don't know what it is about them. I can't resist them!! I wish I had some at work.. they'd help me get through the day sometimes.

Yes, I do!  That picture made me smile.

Not only did I collect stickers, I actually had a sticker-themed birthday party once.  My mom took white gift boxes, wrote each girl's name on one, and filled them with a sticker book and several sheets of stickers.  Of course, the boxes were also decorated with stickers.  I'm am fairly certain that I have a box of childhood stuff in my mom's house that probably includes my sticker books!


P.S. Despite what is says over there under my avatar, I no longer live in Washington, DC. Not that anyone can keep up, but we live in Oregon now.

The other day DS opened up an old book of mine and two of the gumball machine stickers came fluttering out.  They still smelled like gum!

 

You guys are really bringing back memories!  A used to also collect Wacky Packages. I had a whole sticker album for them.  Anyone, anyone???

I think I was only lucky enough to have the Peppy Mint one but I loved puffy stickers and the fuzzies were my favorite- all the cute animals? How can you resist sheets of sandilion? I had two photo albums full of stickers.

Mmm. Mr Sketch- I need some of those. Never liked licorice, but who did, really?

That reminds me of a Littlest Pet Shop set I had with a skunk.. that smelled like a skunk. (in the lower right corner)
