This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Except they don't? If you have a sensitive nose, all you need is for places to be clean and not smell bad. Most higher-priced hotels I have smelled have either smelled "normal" as expected, or if there were added scents, it was irritating.
I'm not really into Disney, but always quite fancied a holiday at one of their parks... until I heard Jenny Nicholson say they pump in themed scents to different areas, and I realised I'd probably just have a migraine the entire time. 🤷♂️
