#736 The smell of Play-Doh

Salty, sweet and a little bit oilySniff up some fumes and get ready for a brain cell party.

Yes, those sleeping memories from long ago will wake up and bounce and crash around your head as you close your eyes and let that salty-sweetness take you back to Kindergarten.

Pop open the memoriesFade to black and remember slightly greasy hands with bits in the fingernails, remember mixing all the colors together until they turned purple-brown, remember rolling out lots of cold lopsided worms, and remember the taste-test incident that resulted in a mouth full of salty chalk.

People, now there’s even a cologne to capture that smell for the ladies, so feel free to get your nostalgia on strong and spray down, my friends.

Yes, that smell of Play Doh takes us way back to the old school. If you’re sniffing up what we’re putting down, then you’re an old fool, who’s so cool. If you wanna get back, let us show you the way.

Whoomp, there it is.

Lemme hear you say.

AWESOME!

  2. #735: The taste of Play-Doh. Don’t tell me I’m not the only one who did that.

    Fresh Play-Doh out of the can is the way to go. And I KNEW you couldn’t leave out the cologne.

  5. AWESOME! I love Play-Doh and though I cannot remember the last time I was even near Play-Doh I totally know how awesome the smell is. Great one!

    yeah, even though we were only allowed to have play-dough once or twice in my childhood (it was so messy, and we liked to dig it into the carpet)….it is one of those things that will remain in my mind forever…totally AWESOME!

    I work in a preschool and am thus lucky enough to smell this fantastic smell on a daily basis. The best though… is the very first time a can is opened. Nothing beats that.

    Try making your own play-doh, koolaid mix, flour, salt and a little water……..edible!

  9. I think I remember disliking the smell of Play-doh, but I bet a whole flood of nostalgia would come back to me if I gave it a whiff. Smells do that better than anything else.

    The board game Cranium brought back Play-doh in a big way for my household.

  11. So AWESOME!
    But alas, they’ve changed the wonderful taste into something… less desirable. I remember taking a nibble or two when I was younger, and recently just got my hands on a new can. Same smell, not so same taste :[

    wait, kate gosselin said this same thing on j&k+8 this week!

  13. Matthew Perry

    I love the smell too. It brought back old memories and also “silly putty”. Similar smell. Can anyone remember? You could mould it, bounce it & get prints from newspaper by rolling it over.

  18. Gerkin

  19. Gosh, I thought I was the only one who felt that way! My friends all think I’m crazy for loving the smell of Play-Doh… Pssh to them.

  23. Rebecca

    I want to eat the smell of Play-Doh. I don’t want to eat the Play-Doh itself, just the smell of it. Does that make sense?
