No sport offers up a more bewildering array of souvenir crap memorabilia than NASCAR, and They Make It digs deep into the corners of the Internet to bring all that strangeness to light. Today: they're not just good drivers, they're delicious, too!
The item: Danica Patrick perfume. It's coming out just in time for Daytona! Can you smell the excitement? Can you?
The deal: It's Danica! It's perfume! Buy it and smell like Danica! Or something like that. I dunno, and neither does Danica herself, apparently, judging from that months-old photo. The perfume will be made by SA Fragrances, and will include everything from purse sprays to bath and body gift -- oh, come on, why am I writing this? Look, just jump to the comments section and start with the jokes. For starters, "Danica Patrick for Her" is the name of this concoction. That's dull and unimaginative. What should this perfume really be called?
The hat tip: Jonathan Sacks, who edits Sports Rubbish, and who offers up this assessment: "Until proven otherwise, we'll just assume the perfume smells like burning rubber and gasoline." Indeed ... say, does "overhype" have a smell?
If you've got a bit of NASCARiana for us to run here, hit me up at jay.busbee@yahoo.com and give us the goods.
