Charlotte hotels desperately try to counter stench

Apologies for altering the title from that used by the Charlotte Observer, in violation of FR standards, but I thought it justified under the circumstances.

As Shakespeare wrote in The Merry Wives of Windsor, I expect that those in attendance will experience "the rankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended nostril." And the scent of all the rose petals in the world will be insufficient to overcome it.

No matter what Charlotte does, they won’t be able to cover up the stink of the ‘Rats.

[abercrombie_guy_38]

I like the Westin scent

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Pull my finger...

[bgill]

It’s going to take a lot of TEA and TEA Partiers to cover the stench of RATS.

Oil based scents give me a migraine that won’t quit. I guess I need to check before getting a room in a hotel.

Great, get dosed with chemicals that smell like coconuts or white tea (whatever that is). Another reason to steer clear of Charlotte during that week. Not like I’d be going there anyway but when it comes to artificial scents, I can’t get away fast enough.

[IronJack]

You think it stinks NOW??? Wait until the DEMOCRATS arrive! Between the fact that they have never been introduced to hygiene and their every utterance being bullshyte, the stench will be a force of nature.

[Venturer]

Do they have the contract for Air Force One?

[LibertyRocks]

That will come in handy when the feces throwing protesters show up.

[Zakeet]

Such things are necessary when dealing with the Great Unwashed Mass of Democrats ... and in related news, Charlotte authorities are setting up mobile VD clinics ... and drug overdose facilities ... and gunshot trauma facilities ... and drunk tanks ... and busing in thousands of whores ... both straight and gay!

[JimSEA]

What no Chicago Musk Oil or Eau de Bangkok???

[ladyjane]

Air Force One? I hear they have those little pine tree deodorizers hanging in the cockpit.

[Paladin2]

Maybe they should use the fragrance of bales of money.

That was part of my job, to develop inciting scents in the lobby and restaurants in Westin’s Hotel in Houston in 1972.. I have been using this in every food and beverage establishment, that I have owned or operated since that time..

I would spray garlic and basil oil in all of our Italian outlets, before every meal period.. I would spray lemon in our bars.. etc.. LOL

[Vigilanteman]

Third world sewer smell would be most appropriate for today’s Democrat Part, because that’s the direction which they wish to drag America kicking and screaming.

[MissMagnolia]

Two scents I didn’t see mentioned: peppermint oil & cedar leaf oil (repels rats).

[Tax-chick]

Industry innovations include the scented highway billboard, which ScentAir and a marketing company tried in 2010 to promote grilled steak from the base of a sign along N.C. 150 in Mooresville.

Did it attract dogs?

[A Strict Constructionist]

The same here. Between the oil and the carrier used, the same for perfumes, they make my life miserable.

[southernnorthcarolina]

Perhaps we should wait to see what the Pew Poll says about this.
