My wife got given a "Jelly Belly" car air freshener in a secret Santa thing, it allegedly smells of Blueberries, now, I have smelt Blueberries and it doesn't smell like that, its a tangy, acrid, sickly, vomit inducing artificial approximation, it is like having kids in the car eating noxious blue sweets in the car and all breathing on you, it is vile but the worst bit is she has hung the offending article from the rear view mirror, it looks like this,



It is about four inches long and waggles about (Fnarr Fnarr biggrin) in your line of sight, I find it distracting and remove it, get back in and it has appeared again, next step will be for it to meet with an unfortunate accident, would put it down the grid but concerned its pungency may render all of Cheshires water table blueberry flavoured.

is there any law about dangly crap hanging from rear view mirrors ? why do people insist on doing it, little boxing gloves, CD's (whats that about ?), furry dice (maybe a while back) and god knows what else.

Do you dangle anything from your rear view mirror ?

Agreed, most car air fresheners smell grim, A waft round with Autoglym Odour Neutraliser makes any car smell wonderful, much better than the overpowering smell of Pine, Vanilla or whatever other pungent aromas they can come up with, just a clean smell, air fresheners generally work by covering up less potent smells with a more powerful ones, just having a clean interior works best.

Vanilla ones make me heave, reminds me of every late night drunken, taxi ride.
