Would you like your jewelry to smell like comfort food?

Hi All,
I stumbled upon this website today that makes necklaces, earrings, and pendants that smell like food. Want to enjoy ice cream without it going straight to your hips how about wearing it on your neck? No time for breakfast this morning no problem just catch a whiff of your waffle drizzled with maple syrup ring! Is this the next great thing since scented markers? Would you buy this?

No, it reminds me too much of lip gloss for children that has a fruity smell to appeal to them.

They're kind of cute! Reminds me of Strawberry Shortcake dolls from when I was little. And yes, scented lip glosses. And scratch 'n' sniff books and stickers. Why NOT jewelry? Whoever invented these has to be someone who was a kid in the 80s and remembers all that stuff!

Maybe I'm the only one who gets it. It's fun, it's twee, it's cute for kids and if my daughter came to me and wanted something like this I'd definitely buy it.

I was totally mis-imagining what this would be - I pictured, say, an amethyst solitaire ring that smelled like grape soda - which I do think would be weird.

Now having checked out that link, I really think only very young girls would like it - and if that's the intended audience, I guess it's okay - but frankly I still think it is weird, if not more so - I admit I have something against making adornments in the likeness of these kinds of food items (with or without accompanying fragrance), as opposed to nature/plant/fruit-inspired jewelry.

As a child of 80's i do remember all of that fondly. I am going to another birthday party soon but this time for a 5 year old girl. She loves jewelry and loves to walk around the house in her mom's jewels usually without permission! I could really see her liking this and keeping out of mom's jewelry box !!

I think they're adorable and would be so cute for little girls! My daughter would have loved them when she was little. I'm trying to lose a few pounds so have been watching what I eat, and the pics made me really hungry :cheeky: - am I alone here? :oops:

My niece's 6th birthday party is this Sunday. I'm glad you posted this because I'm going to try to get her one of the necklaces in time! She will love it.

Here's the description for the sno-cone pendant:

You've donned your favorite shorts and halter top combo, teased your hair into natural summer waves, and slipped into those funky gladiators you bought last week - almost ready for that exciting first date down at the beach. But, there's something missing.
One teeny tiny accessory that screams cool no matter how hard the sun beats down, or threatens to melt your lip-gloss. With its exuberant strips of red, yellow, green and blue, Tiny Hands' Scented Snow Cone Necklace is an all out festival of color and fun – the perfect way to express your buoyant and lively personality!

Are you forever stuck inside a sweltering classroom or office during the summer months? Take a break from the heat with Tiny Hands' coolest of wearable iced treats. A childhood fantasy of flavored ice shavings, and sunny hues, this demure, 1 inch Scented Snow Cone Necklace packs more than just a visual punch.

Scented with a combination of intoxicatingly sweet and fruity flavours, it's a cocktail of scents as young, fun and vivacious as you are. This irresistible pendant charm has been lovingly crafted by Mei from polymer clay, then mounted upon a printed paper cone, which just adds to its authenticity. Mounted upon a glistening sterling silver chain of about 18 inches, it has just the right amount of sparkle to take you from beach to pool party chic!


Obviously she's marketing to tweens and younger girls. I still think they're all adorable. I can't decide which one to get!

I read somewhere that smelling something yummy tricks your brain into feeling like you have eaten it and helps you feel fuller. I have a bath and shower gel from Philosophy called Cinnamon Buns. The scent only lasts in the shower but it really starts my day off right!

Kinda tempting if someone is being a bit picky with a ring on Rockytalky to ask whether a Scented Shortcake Heart Cookie Ring might be more to their taste. I'll restrain myself though.

That would be hilarious! When I was 6 a boy in my class gave me a Ring Pop and said I was his girl. That lasted til recess when I found out he gave ring pops to three other girls too hahaha! Oh how my taste has evolved!

Exactly.

I can't imagine walking around smelling of chicken and dumplings. Or mashed potatoes. Or spaghetti. Or fried chicken. ICK.

Fruit smells, sure. Flowers. Okay.

But comfort foods? NO.

Looks like a lot of their items are custom made so it takes about two weeks to order the item. You can contact them for rush orders. Not sure with this weather if you will get it by Sunday. This one seems to be in stock though and looks cute ! Just don't sign up for the monthy subscription at the bottom.

Yup!! Me too. No way. I eat too much as it is. Don't need any more encouragement.

After giving this a bit more thought, I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather have my comfort food smell like jewelry :lol: ;-)

Oooooh ok here I was thinking it was a company that like I could send my avc ring in and have them put a coffee scent on it or something. It's for kids, so yeah, I think it's cute. I can see my daughter and her friends being into these, and I can picture myself wanting those necklaces as a little girl.

Do I want stuff like that now? No. I have enough weight to lose already-I don't need to smell donuts all day long.

Could you imagine asking Jonathan to add a coffee scent to your AVC ? Haha
