Since when do offices allow much advertising of any kind in? Maybe the occasional restaurant flyer gets in, and of course all the promotional products from conferences, salesmen, etc., but not much with any permanence or prominence, definitely not stuff the company is paid to put in. They don't want attention pulled away from work. A for dystopia, C for realism. Since when do offices allow much advertising of any kind in?

Or Walmart? Any big box store really. Airports perhaps? I'm sure if one put their mind to it a vast array of places this could be implemented would spring forth.

And I think Costco's bakery vents straight into the parking lot, too. But then again, I'm also convinced Pringles have nicotene. I’m pretty sure Subway already does this with their bread smell.

If so, I don't apologize for not being so cocksure as to call my off-the-cuff generalization the gospel truth. I still can't think of an instance where a company <i>accepts payment</i> to advertise to their own employees (as opposed to customers). If someone suggests one, maybe I can think about it more constructively. Or else you-plural don't find it interesting. That's fine too. What, you mean my hedging?

No, the "realism" part, you made up, I'm saying. I didn't say I'm expecting a company to exist in the next three days where I can start renting smell time. I just said it was kinda a funky idea. But then you went with "well it couldn't happen, and here's why you're wrong" and I was all "WHOA WHOA WHOA THERE." Er, what? No, the “realism” part, you made up, I’m saying.
