Stinky Stickers!

Stinky Stickers!

Pheeeooowww! How pongy are these Creepy House stickers!

For those of you who have already earned some of your stickers you’ll know just how strongly-smelling the first set of stickers is. But I encourage you – the stickers get less and less disgusting as you progress through Creepy House, and the last one is quite delightful.

But it got me thinking, some smells are absolutely yucky. And some are definitely delightful.

But some, it’s a matter of opinion.

What are your favourite and worst smells?

I think a few of my favourites would be bacon frying, freshly cut grass, and my apple shampoo. My worst would definitely be the cats’ litter tray!

the bronze sticker i got headache i started at 13july and finsihed at 1 st august. I LOVE CREEPY HOUSE

Well that was pretty speedy, Lord Grip Quagmire! Well done. I’m so pleased to hear how much you love Creepy House. I think Creepy House is brilliant too! I wonder what the theme will be next year, and I hope you’ll give it another try then!

Oh no, Lady Tuesday Slingshot! Do the books still smell? Try flicking the pages to let in some fresh air!

Reply from Susie from Devon

I feel very excited about my first stickers. They smell like dog poo.

Well done, Coach Beryl Gormenghast, for earning your first set of stickers! Yes, it does add a bit of extra excitement having different smells, doesn’t it! Keep going, you’ve made an excellent start.

Reply from Susie from Devon

Hello Queen Esmerelda Bonsai, and well done for earning your first set of stickers. It is very hard to describe that horrid stink, isn’t it. I’m told that if you keep the stickers cool they don’t smell so much.

Reply from Susie from Devon

I think the first and second stink haven’t got third set yet I have got the code for second stickers which is WER99 but I accidently chucked the backing of the first set of stickers in the bin please could u tell me what the first code is so I can watch the video !!
thank you

Hello again Madam Pixie Tyrannosaurus. I’d love to be able to give you the second code but I don’t think I am allowed to add it here because it will give it away to kids who haven’t received their stickers yet. Would you mind asking at your library next time you are there? I’m sure they’ll understand.

Reply from Susie from Devon

all my stickers smell of garlic. the library has put them in the fridge cus they stink so bad and mummy thinks that the garlic has taken over

Hello Countess Marge Pennyfarthing. How about putting them somewhere a bit warmer to help release the smells, and also give them a but of a scratch? It might help.

Reply from Susie from Devon

These stickers are good fun! I can throw it at people and the can’t stop picking it up and having a good whiff out of them!

Well I’m glad you’re getting such merriment from them, Ambassador Cornetto Eggybread!

Reply from Susie from Devon

Just got my garlicky stickers, at least they are not as smelly as the first ones!

Well done Director Angora Fascination! So you’ve only got two more books to read before you earn your medal! I’d love to hear about the books you’ve chosen.

Reply from Susie from Devon

I hate the first smell but it is funny to see other people’s expressions after smelling it!

Comment by Anonymous

Yes, Director Tulip Borchester-Smythe, I’ve seen a lot of screwed-up noses when people Snell the stickers we give them! One person just froze and their eyes looked like they were going to pop out!

Reply from Susie from Devon

I quite like the smell but my twin sister has a very sensitive nose so she knows when I’ve opened the booklet and she isn’t happy about it at all!!!

Comment by Anonymous

Oh dear, Nurse Bubbles Luther. Your poor sister. Perhaps you could spray a puff of air freshener to keep her happy!

Reply from Susie from Devon

Same here, bacon frying- Yumsville. And nice smell kind of thing. I’m the same as Nurse Jet Waxwork, my dad managed to get the thing that I wanted, so I persuaded him to smell them. Put him off. I absolutely hate the smell of chinese spare ribs though.

Comment by Anonymous

Hello, Principal Pixie O’Doughnut! That’s an interesting one – chinese spare ribs. Now that you’ve mentioned it I feel I could just east a few!

Reply from Susie from Devon
I hated the smell of the first batch of stickers! The second batch wasn’t so bad.

I like the smell of strong garlic.

Comment by Anonymous

Hello Director Mistral Humdinger. Yes, I love the smell of strong garlic and I live the taste of it too!

Reply from Susie from Devon

I love the last smell but the first one is absolutely horrific!!!!

Comment by Anonymous

Yes, I’d agree with that, Mademoiselle Viper Lava lamp!

Reply from Susie from Devon

I didn’t mind the first one but the second one………………….phew glad thats smells staying in those pages (i haven’t got the third one yet)

Comment by Anonymous

Well that is interesting, Queen Heroica Gormenghast! I thought the second one wasn’t too bad. At least garlic is something you can eat, but it is very strong, so if you don’t like garlic in the first place then I can understand it.

Reply from Susie from Devon

I thought the stickers were amazing. My mum hated them and had to eat some mints after I put them under her nose as she felt so sick

Comment by Anonymous

Haha, Superintendent Jiminy Mildew! That’s a good idea, I hope the mints helped her, your poor Mum!

Reply from Susie from Devon

my mum smelt those horrible stickers and felt like she was going to be sick yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Anonymous

That’s quite understandable! Someone that works with my shoved one right up to my nose when they first arrived and I had to wash my nose so that I didn’t keep smelling it!

Reply from Susie from Devon

Reply from Susie from Devon

If you keep your pack somewhere cool, it doesn’t smell so strongly! Tuck it somewhere out of the way if you need to!

Reply from Susie from Devon

My mum smelt them and ran away so I smelt it and I ran away.

Comment by Anonymous

Hehehe, Queen Kangaroo Bonsai! I wish I could run away from them but we keep them here at our front desk because we keep having to give them out, so we are constantly smelling them! We were worried at first that the customers would think it’s us that smells!

Reply from Susie from Devon

GOOD IM REALLY GLAD OF IT!
