I was just in the grocery store with Kate and she brought to mind an interesting observation. (I feel like Kate and I have become close enough that she will not object to me "stealing" her important observation...especially since credit was just given where it was due) Anyway, we noticed that there is hardly no laundry detergent available in stores today that smells like laundry detergent. They all have some fragrance that must include one of these words: "morning" "fresh" "breeze" or "spring". Most are titled "Morning Fresh Spring Breeze" just to be safe. This in itself is not really a big deal, but this is the part that really gets me: There is perfume that smells like laundry detergent! And it's expensive! Why would you pay a whole bunch of money to smell like laundry when laundry doesn't even smell like laundry anymore?! That's it exactly! Laundry smell has been banished from the shelves of the grocery store and is now available only to the upper-class. It's a conspiracy I tell you. That fresh, clean, one-of-a-kind smell has quite a hefty price tag.
