When I was a kid, I had this idea of having a case or album filled with unusual but pleasant scents. That one would sniff during some interesting experience.

A wedding. An awesome vacation with a beautiful woman. The birth of a child. Whatever one thought was important.

Then store the scents back in the case. Then at some later and future date, one would take the scent out and smell it. And like a photograph in a photo album, the memory of the experience would flood back for the user.

The image of these scents in vials reminded me of that "invention"

I also thought that a hand held squeezer for cans of tuna fish, to drain out the juice or oil, would be awesome. Called the the "Fish Squish". Still could use that invention

No CIA psyop can delete the Buccee's brisket and no NGO can dismiss the Wawa Italian from reality. No politics will make our Philly cheesesteaks go away, or stop the crawfish boiling in Shreveport, or the beef hot dogs in Chicago or the BBQ in Dallas.

There will be Chili in Cincinnati, sweet corn in Iowa, beef spare ribs in Montana, and burritos in California. The Grand Canyon will abide where it has for millennia, the Mississippi will remain Mighty, and Yellowstone, stunning.

Our various stadium facilities will still blow their minds (btw the wave was invented in the US in the 70's, not Mexico in the 80's, that thing the Norwegians do is just a derivative), our cars will remain luxurious and our bedrooms, air-conditioned.
