I’ll admit, when I clicked on the link in my show-prep titled, ‘Play Doh Launches Adult Line,’ I had no idea what to expect. What does an ‘adult’ line of Play Doh all entail? Do I need to move to private browsing off of the company wi-fi?
As it turns out, Play Doh was just referring to the scents that they are incorporating into a new line of Play Doh engineered specifically for grown ups. There’s going to be a version that smells like a grill, a version that smells like fresh cut lawn, and a version that smells like mom-jeans. That last one still seems suspect.
Now it’s been a few years/decades since I’ve played with Play Doh, but let me say this, if you hand me Play Doh that smells like meat on a grill, the chances that I’m going to eat that Play Doh sit at roughly 100%. Play Doh was hard enough not to eat as a kid just with it’s standard scent. It looked good, it smelled good, ipso facto you knew it was going to taste good. In fact, I’d venture a guess that most kids have eaten anywhere between 10-15 ounces of Play Doh in their lives. Accidentally, or purposefully, eating a little bit of that stuff was just the cost of doing business when you opened those patented Play Doh cans. I had a buddy in Kindergarten that ate whole globs of the stuff. It was the base of his food pyramid, right by grains and wheat. I don’t know what happened to him but I feel like he pops on the Sheboygan Scanner feed from time to time.
Anyhoo, if you’re looking for a little stress relief or to remember a simpler time in your life, adult Play Doh is here for you!
PS: Play Doh was one of the all time smells as a kid, but I can’t put at #1 in my power rankings. That spot will forever belong to these bad boys:

Lost a lot of brain cells to those back in the day. Who knows, I might have been a doctor had it not been for permanent marker’s in art class.
