        yup, for a more prolonged experience you could also smell the interior of new cars, back when you could actually afford one

        Oh yes! It’s also so similar to that “new computer smell” when a laptop’s fans would kick on for the first time out of the box. I dunno if that’s a thing anymore…

        That smell is Christmas to me. That was the only time we typically got new NES or Super NES games, and lord I loved that smell of fresh print and plastic.
