September 19 - Decomex Pastel Olive

In the misty silver night
My eyes fall to the ground
I can feel it come alive

~ Peter Gabriel - Olive Tree

Most balloons have a fairly narrow range of smells, from mild-latex to yucky-old-latex, I've never had a balloon that smells like this.  Slightly sweet, like corn or like a sweet tobacco?

I couldn't detect any differences in texture between these and other Decomex balloons, at this point it just feels like an added benefit.  I kept sniffing them and wondering about what chemical they used that perfectly overwrote the latex.  ... or maybe there's some new curing process.

Overall impression, smells good, and I'm simply fascinated by that - but it's the color of Oscar the Grouch and boogers, and not for my kit.
