Right after I started my shift I noticed a strong scent of cinnamon. I knew it was somewhere in the lobby, but I couldn't figure out where. Eventually I determined it was coming from a large crate filled with bags of cinnamon-scented pine cones right behind me. Their sweet, earthy smell was a pleasant accompaniment to my task.
However, by the time my shift ended that scent had me craving some cinnamon heat. On my way home I stopped and bought a box of Red Hots.

Yummmm! I love red hots and atomic fireballs. Although I've found that as I've gotten older I don't have quite the same tolerance for the heat from those candies. I'm turning into a wimp!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised. Usually when I buy a box of candy I can't stop until it's all gone. Last night I had a couple of servings and I was done. Which is a good thing.
DeleteI've heard of those but never tried them. Are they really hot?
ReplyDeleteThey have a pretty strong kick.
Deletethe power of scent!
ReplyDeleteYeo. Amazing, isn't it?
DeleteI love those scented pine cones and usually buy a bag every year. The smell doesn't last too long though, unfortunately!
ReplyDeleteThose cinnamon candies remind me of my childhood! I used to love them....now, not so much. One or two will do me just fine. Ha.
Interesting to know about the pine cone smell not lasting. From my perspective yesterday I would NEVER have thought that!
