Your memory's best friend is your sense of smell. You knew that, right? And every time I polish my furniture I can't escape the full-bodied reminder of the original scent of pledge furniture polish. I loved that smell. Capital L loved it. It made my heart happy when I walked through our front door after school and was greeted with the familiar scent of pledge furniture polish. I think in part I knew my mom would be in a good mood because she’d just cleaned the house. But I'm thinking mostly it was just the smell. I sure do miss it. You can’t buy this original pledge anymore. I’ve looked everywhere. Now, everything has lemon or orange or some other fruity filling in it. They all smell the same and I'll never be convinced that it better for your wood. So, if you know how to score some of this pledge 'crack' for me, DO tell. I would probably clean my house first thing. Then I would thank you publicly. And Loudly. It would be that cool. ~Susan
