This 'n That Thursdays: First Ever USPS Scratch-and-Sniff Postage Stamps!

From USPS

Have you heard that the US Postal Service is about to issue their first ever scratch-and-sniff postage stamps?  Just in time for summer, these new releases, called "Frozen Treats", will feature ice cream pops with a sweet scent evocative of the season.  The stamps will become available on June 20th, so mark your calendars to be one of the first to purchase these colorful delights, either from your local post office or at the "Frozen Treats" link provided above!

And if you have a brilliant idea for even more unique stamp designs, you can submit your suggestions to The Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee here.  Hmm, I wonder if they have done a series on dog breeds yet, maybe those that were developed in the United States, or US horse breeds, or even native crustaceans?  Or what about a set showcasing critically endangered species like the pangolin?  How about a series on state symbols, such as state birds, trees, flowers, etc.?  I do seem to have a fauna and flora bias, don't I?  But the possibilities are endless - this could be fun!
