All This Scratching is Making Me Sniff

Scratch and Sniff’s not dead, it just smells a bit funny. Originally created in the early 80s as teaching aids to reward clever students, Scratch and Sniff stickers became a bit of a phenomenon ‘back in the day’ and lead to all manner of bubblegum scented malarkey (remember pens with scented ink). Although now looking pretty dated, their designs remain a legacy of a decade when the world went day-glo. Bubbledog has a pretty comprehensive archive of sticker designs you can check out [bubbledog.com/sns] (some of which are shown here). You could even pick some sheets up from Bubbledog’s eBay page.
