Candle From Twelve South Promises 'New Mac' Scent

[pat500000]

Smells like fried CPU and battery heating.
I guess the purpose of buying this is to remind ourselves how much we miss our Mac hardwares especially with Mac Pro. Smell of reminiscing.

I'm an Apple Fanboy and I totally signed up to be notified when this becomes available again. My favorite part about unboxing a new Macintosh is the smell.

Publicity stunt

It's sold out because all the people calling it lame or stupid were the first ones to buy them up.

How do you figure it's a publicity stunt? It's a product from a third party vendor

This is just sad.

I think it took courage.

Planning on burning your car?

This actual Smell of a new iMac is caused by the packing film/tape. The film/tape is developed by 3M. You can go to your local Walgreens and buy some clear 3M medical tape and then....yup it smells just like a new Mac. They also have a huge roll of 3M tape at Staples and Sams Club and it will literally make the whole house smell like a new Mac. I always have a roll inside my Nissan Rogue. It smells fantastic.

Now I've seen everything.

Have you seen a man eat his own head?

 

[alexwei]

My body is ready. In for one whenever they are back in stock.

Packaging is definitely part of Apple products (they put a lot of effort into making the opening an enjoyable experience and always have).

It makes you wonder whether Apple scent the inside of their boxes intentionally.

It's the 3M clear film that are on the products. The film naturally smells that way.

Yup. Going to blame it on the note 7. Then go buy a new Ferrari with the insurance money.

 

[Sirious]

Is it weird that I want to buy this?

The only thing putting me off is the price lol

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

This one's a bit odd.

 

[iJandro]

HOLD UP! I'm not going to lie...I really do like that smell XD But then again...it won't be the same without starting at a new product, so...yeah...

I don't even remember what a new Mac smells like. Jeez it's been a while.

 

[ogun7]

Lol I sent in this tip!

So we have you to thank (blame?) for this
.

But the comments here on MacRumors were worth it alone!

 

[countryside]

Why all the negative comments? It is just like buying the 'New Car" candles.

Scratch-and-sniff Apple-Bottom Jeans. Lol

This could be the start of something
