the entry reeks flame

i thought i'd never live to tell the tale, but hell yeah, i've managed to stick to my financial rationing for the past two weeks (see previous entry). kudos to that! and who's to say that not all things are possible? 

well, as far as craziness goes, burger king certainly takes the cake. the burger makers have launched a new perfume line, aptly named flame. yes, yes, you heard it right. the experts of grilled patties have even created an official website to promote their baffling olfactory invention and it comes with a cheesy, cramp-inducing tagline, "body spray of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat."

let's face it, people. whoever with even the littlest bit of sanity in this freaking world would want to smell like char-burnt carcass? i hardly find that appealing, let alone beguiling. to put things into perspective, burger king might have had other reasons for developing such an idiosyncratic aroma. maybe, just maybe, the perfume could double up as a marinade as well. so just in case you've run out of barbeque sauce when you're working like a trojan at the pit, instead of going out to get another bottle, you could simply spray a little flame on your marinade, for that hint of flame-broiled meat.

nevertheless, i am a naysayer to such tawdriness. some things just never get old. this one, on the other hand, has had its day the moment i've smelt it.
