No! First of all, I am not into fruity scents. Furthermore, I think this is just a bit weird!

I call gimmick!

Anyone who was actually in elementary school in the 1980s will tell you that there was often a big thing about sticker books: “You can look at my stickers, but you can’t scratch them to smell them.” Because scratching tended to destroy the sticker! (And rubbing with the skin of your fingertip would release the smell about as well, but eventually the sticker would get stained with finger oils.)

I don’t know how much of this paper they honestly expect to sell, but I believe it’s either to get attention for other products they make, or it’s meant to be sold to people who don’t have a problem regularly changing wallpaper anyway (let’s say, for the dressing room walls in a hip boutique). Amusing, but not practical for most private homes.

This reminds me of when I was a child. I had watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the first time on TV. The part with the lickable wallpaper got me. Of course the brat I was loving to play jokes on my little brother I took my scented lip gloss and smeared it on my wall paper which was little lollipops. I told him it was just like the wall paper in the movie. He said I was a liar and I walked out.

The next day my Mom caught him in my room sniffing and licking the wall paper. I was such a brat as a child. LOL

Ewww! No way! I’m imagining a whole house smelling like those icky car fresheners.

All I can think of is Willy Wonka’s lickable wallpaper…

The snozzberries really taste like snozzberies!”

Ha, ha — a mouse carnival! That’s funny. I kind of suspect the fake odors would gag me. It’s nice for a little while, but a whole wall is a bit much. And I really hate fake-banana anything. Ugh…off to gag…

I love the patterns…the smell is actually a turn off for me. I battle enough little field mice during the winter without making a carnival for them.

Oh actually, yeah, maybe. In the teeny tiny entryway.
My great-grandmother had apples & pears wallpaper and somehow over the years it got super sticky, like tape-sticky, and I always used to try and sneak-a-sniff when I was little to see if it smelled like the fruit.
