That Fragrance...

Every time i open a "balikbayan box", the first thing that always strikes me is a fragrance which source i still have to figure out up to now.

Is it from the Ivory soap, or from the Pantene shampoo? Maybe it`s the Jergens lotion? Could it be the whiff of clean American air that somehow got trapped in that huge box? Or is it the mixture of all of the above?

Up to now, i really don`t know!

All i know is that for some strange reason, that certain fragrance sticks to everything made in the US---the T-shirts, the jeans, towels, and even the sneakers..I'm even thinking that the smell would surely have seeped into the peanut butter if not only for the thick sealed glass bottle it comes in.

Have you ever thought about this, too?

Tell me what`s on your mind...
