I remember when I used to rent games back in the day. Every game would stink of cigarette smoke. I always remember I associated that smell with rental stores - every video we got smelt of it and then every game smelt of it. That smell will probably trigger nostalgic memories of my youth these days (despite no one in my family ever smoking).
I thought about taking it back, but it was mainly the jacket and I really couldn't be bothered. I got the new jacket today and everything is rosy again.
My father was a chain smoker before his stroke and drove a big rig for a living. He sent my daughter a bunch of soft toys and then some actually rather nice books which smelled like they must have been in the cab of his truck for weeks -- no way we could give them to her. They were all new so we simply left them out in a storage cupboard outside the main flat for weeks and eventually they were okay. I just couldn't believe how oblivious he was about the issue!
your dad sounds alot like my dad, only, mine hasnt had a stroke and still drives trucks. thanks to him my entire house smells like cigarettes.
wouldn't the silicon jacket turn yellow before it smells???
No, I would expect it to turn yellow after a long period of handling by a person with seriously nicotine-stained fingers. Thanks for putting that image in my head, though!
sorry Aaron... Everytime some heavy smoker uses my wiimote it turns a lil bit yellow, but then I just wipe it off... but normaly it turns brown... is it the dried sweat??? The fingers don't look dirty to me...
