英国火车站安装夏日芬芳空气贩卖机
A vending machine stocked with bottles of summer scented air was assembled at Slough train station to help evoke holiday memories among commuters.
英国斯劳火车站安装了一台出售瓶装夏日芬芳空气的贩卖机，意在唤起通勤者的假日记忆。
A hundred bottles were filled with distinctive holiday fragrances, including freshly cut grass, BBQ, sun cream and sea air, which were revealed as the nation's favorites. Situated in the station's ticket office, the novelty vending machine invited commuters to enjoy a free pick-me-up on their way to work.
OnePoll carried out a survey in July 2015 and found that 69 percent of 2,000 people consider the smell of freshly cut grass to be the most evocative summertime fragrance. While 40 percent said they prefer the smell of a good BBQ, 39 percent enjoy the distinctive fragrance of sun cream and 38 percent find sea air to be the perfect summertime cure.
The survey also found that on average Britons start to feel the holiday-blues a mere 16 days after returning to the UK. And the vast majority (82 percent) said that holiday memories offer the perfect pick-me-up for when they are feeling down.
Michael Callaghan, of Holiday Autos, the company who commissioned the survey, said: 'We want to inject as much fun, freedom and frivolity into holidays as possible by giving people back that holiday feeling and something to smile about – we think the Smells of Summer vending machine really does just that. It's likely that we will want to take our newest invention on the road and bring some summer sunshine to commuters around the country.'
