Given out at the movie theatres that showed this now-cult film directed by John Waters that starred Divine and Tab Hunter, the front of the card shows color images of actors from the movie while the back has ten 'scratch-'n-sniff' numbers with text reading \"Wait! Odorama Wait! \/ Do not scratch until you receive instructions from the film.\" A number would flash on the screen, prompting the viewer to scratch his card to smell what the fictional characters on screen were smelling - and because this was a John Waters film, the scents were glue, pizza, and feces, among other gross things! (Please note these cards have not been scratched, but they have wrinkle and bend marks throughout.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA marvelous item signed by the American actor, singer and drag queen better known by his stage name Divine and best known for his collaborations with filmmaker John Waters. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003ePolyester\u003c\/i\u003e is a 1981 American comedy film directed, produced, and written by John Waters, and starring Divine, Tab Hunter, Edith Massey, and Mink Stole. It is a send-up of the melodramatic genre of women's pictures, particularly those directed by Douglas Sirk, whose work directly influenced this film, as well as a satirical look at suburban life in the early 1980s involving divorce, abortion, adultery, alcoholism, foot fetishism, and the religious right. \u003ci\u003ePolyester\u003c\/i\u003e was filmed in Waters' native Baltimore, Maryland, and features a gimmick called \"Odorama\", whereby viewers can smell what they see on screen using scratch and sniff cards, in a stylistic tribute to the work of William Castle, whose films typically featured attention-grabbing gimmicks.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093696762015,"sku":"18856","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Odorama_18856_1_1.jpg?v=1722189753","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/18856-divine-milstead-harris-glenn-waters-john-signed-scratch-and-sniff-odorama-card-from-polyester","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
