Completely Random Thought #634

The store didn't have the kind of dish soap I usually buy, so I picked up some cheap-ass no-name brand or other that claimed to be "apple-scented." It doesn't actually smell much like apples, but what it does smell like, with uncanny accuracy, is a doll my sister had when we were kids. It was one of the friends of "Strawberry Shortcake." Anybody remember those? They were these little food-themed dolls which were somehow impregnated with weird chemical scents meant to vaguely mimic the odors of said foods. I think that particular one was called "Apple Dumpling," or something.

Now, every time I do the dishes, I get this really weird hit of childhood nostalgia. It's kind of freaking me out.
