Soon, you can not only read your mail, you can smell it too, with the U.S. Postal Service launching its first scratch-and-sniff stamps on Wednesday. The stamps could take you back to your childhood, with favorite summertime treat smells including kiwi, watermelon, orange, strawberry and blueberry. The stamps will be including designs of popsicles or ice dream designs. The stamps will be released on Wednesday, June 20, with a special unveiling first at the Thinkery children’s museum in Austin, Texas. The dedication will occur at 6 p.m. and followers of the U.S. Postal Service’s Facebook page can view the ceremony live at that time.

Various animal smells should be used. Skunk scent stamps when mailing tax returns to IRS

1 hour of sorting the mail plus 1 hour of delivering the mail plus 46 hours of Post Office employees putzing around = 48 hours.

As long as they don’t make Boy Rapist, Harvey Milk’s stamp, scratch and sniff, I’m OK with this, I guess.

How sexist!

All of them have...sticks!

Not only was Obamacare unconstitutional, but the USPS is now promoting unhealthy eating habits.

I don’t even want to imagine.

Or this communist slob...

The Post Office announced today that it is going to issue a stamp commemorating prostitution in the United States. It's a ten-cent stamp, but if you want to lick it, it's a quarter.

Just imagine how much the price of postage could be reduced if the U.S. Postal Service allowed perfume companies to discreetly advertise their fragrances on scratch-and-sniff stamps.

Yinz guys cut it out! You’re killing me.

They actually sell advertising post cards in Japan and the consumer gets a break with reduced postage as incentive to buy them.

Even the strap you hang from on a bus or subway car sells advertising.

The first one will be Obama and it will smell of ass.
