Everyone needs to read this comic. Or, at LEAST, this page.
I love this arc! I work with kids with autism some of whom are EXTREMELY sensitive to scents. So smelling like a flowers and fruit exploded on me is really not an option. Thank heavens for the recent popularity in unscented, dye free products!
