And a random note that wont make sense to guys...and barely makes sense to me

Why does the sanitary product disposal unit in the ladies toilets on my floor at work smell of cinnamon? It is bad enough with the automatic sensor so your hands don't touch it, but CINNAMON!!?!

There's an automatic sensor? That must be one of those Kiwi first things again (like colour TV). But yeah... what's with cinnamon? Weird...

So it doesn't smell like icky women, you silly thing.

There are some over on this side of the pond but not many. Think I've encountered about 3 so far and mainly in the cbd. You make like a magician and wave a hand over the top and the lid goes up. Wait a sec and it eerily descends. That's when I wait for it to start going all Chuckie, with the lid opening again and 'feeeed me' issuing from the depths. Nice if you don't want to touch the thing though. Haven't had a whiff of cinnamon yet.

Oh dear, If I can get my hands on one, and fit it with the appropriate little noise maker and 'feeed me' recording, that'd be a great stunt...

Even if you fitted it with one of the widgets from inside those greetings cards that talk/sing etc...

You *know* you have to :)

Same reason (I'm guessing) as the blue liquid they always use to demonstrate the absorbent properties of those same products. (Unless they're marketing it at Nigella, who I suspect has blue blood...)

It's also very thin and watery. Which the real thing is... not so.

Uh huh - Nigella again.
