Do you remember scratch and sniff stickers? Those stickers we all had as kids where you would scratch the front of them, and they would instantly smell like whatever the sticker was?
As a kid these were some of our favorite stickers to get. Scratching them for the first time was such a rush as you never knew if the smell was going to remotely resemble what was shown on the front of the sticker.
You could end up with a strawberry that smelled like nothing or an apple that smelled like a cherry. You never know what you were going to get.
Inconsistent smells aside, have you ever wondered how a scratch and sniff sticker worked? Would a scratch and snick sticker still smell if you didn’t actually scratch it first?
Of course, as kids, we never really cared about how the stickers worked, we just loved the smell of them. As adults, however, we have more of a curiosity about how things work.
Let’s talk a little bit about how scratch and sniff stickers give off their scents and how they are made.
With the NBA Finals starting this week we thought it would be a great time to take a look at some of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to basketball shoes.
Whether you’re playing a pickup game, an intramural game, or playing for the school team, it’s always important to make sure you have the proper equipment. Depending on the sport you play this includes everything from the shoes to the pads, all the way up to the helmets. Just because basketball may require less in terms of equipment, when compared to other sports, that doesn’t mean that the equipment isn’t just as important.
Running around and playing basketball in the wrong shoes can lead to serious injuries. These injuries can prevent you from doing everyday activities and impede your movement while on the basketball court.
And while it’s not important to have the most expensive, or the latest, basketball shoe, it is important to make sure you have something that will support your ankles and your feet while on the court.
