The $300 Air Freshener: Mach Pizza Delivery Man
You’ll find the above, extremely rare air freshener on eBay for a starting bid of $329. I doubt it’ll sell for that much, but it’s one of the coolest pieces of video game merch.
It’s not the actual piece that is awesome though, it’s the story behind how you would’ve acquired it in the ’90s.
“In the back of the EarthBound Player’s Guide, there are 6 scratch-n-sniff cards that represent different aromas you might encounter while playing the game. One of these cards had a mystery smell, and if you sent it in to Nintendo, you would get a free air freshener in return. This air freshener smelled like pizza and was shaped like the Mach Pizza delivery man. Apparently the smell lasted only a day after using it. “
Cool! Although, I would’ve liked to experienced the scents and the act of guessing and sending in for my air freshener instead of buying it today off of eBay.
What an incredible Nintendo promotion though! Especially for a ’90s Nintendo of America.
Oh NOA. Why did you not have faith in Mother 3?
