Floral Scents

Getting in a taxi has become like standing in front of the snack isle eyeballing all the Cracker Jack boxes wondering which one has something other than 'lick 'em 'n stick 'em' snake tattoos. I've gotten to the point where I ignore cleanliness and shoot a glance at the dash through the windshield with camera in hand. If the air freshener is different from what I've previously recorded, it makes for a great ride, regardless of the potholes and near misses.

Here are two more variations on the ever popular air freshener series:

Mind Over Matter
This genius opted to side-step any recurring cost and challenge the passenger's mental ability to think beyond the stink and envision these orange roses and white jasmine blossoms exuding scents of loveliness, regardless of their plastic construction. The arrangement was pleasing to the eye, but failed to convince me that the truck in front of us was filling up the passenger compartment with noxious gases. I'll give this guy high points for creativity and an original aesthetic. If the driving gig doesn't go anywhere, maybe a career at a floral shop?


You-Make-Up-Your-Own-Title
I would have to say that this is the most majestic freshener and freshener accessory I've seen thus far. Aside from the impressively regal yard bird, the really cool thing about this morning's ride was that it was the first green colored air freshener chemical syrup. I spent the majority of the ride trying to detect what scent was represented by green. Menthol? No. Cool Mint? No. Apple? No. Brocolli? Close. Spearmint? Nope. Watermelon? No. I never found out. I would have given this driver the Macho Man award for having this particular dash arrangement, but the Hello Kitty embroidered headrests killed it. If he swaps them for the Tazmanian Devil, he's got it.
