If there is one thing I hate, it is artificial smells-cheap scented candles, air fresheners, and the like-the kind that people buy at the supermarket or the dollar store (For those of you who may be thinking to gift me with a scented candle at some point, I am not opposed to the good ones) . Particularly vile is the "apples 'n' cinnamon" variety of synthetic perfume...while I think it may in some way be reminiscent of apples and/or cinnamon it mostly reeks of trailer park. I would honestly prefer the smell of garbage, or anything else.
So the other day, my husband arrives home from the store ALL EXCITED because he has FINALLY found his FAVORITE variety of instant Cream of Wheat, he's been looking for it for YEARS, since he was a child...and it is, of course, apples and cinnamon.
The following morning I awoke with a slight headache and a terrible attitude because I'm convinced that someone is burning a Glade "Apples 'n' Cinnamon" candle in my room. Ugh, the stench! The horror! I look around, and there is no candle to be found, I check every room and come up with nothing. Upon entering the kitchen I find husband and child finishing up their breakfast, which is of course, the Cream of Wheat that he bought yesterday and which I now realize is the source of the stench. The food scientists have created a substance in this breakfast item that is so potent it can alarm people with it's "apples 'n' cinnamon"qualities from an entire house away.
I suspect that Glade and Cream of Wheat are sharing a lab.

The real question here is why that "flavor" of Cream of Wheat is so rare that it requires years of searching to procure? Did he try the black market at all? He may have had more luck there.
Hey how about adding applesauce and cinnamon to plain Cream of Wheat- or would that taste too natural?
