Blockbuster had a unique smell.
I'm not joking--just like a brand new car has a distinct scent, so too does a Blockbuster Video.
I think it was the smell of VHS tape rot. Like how libraries strictly speaking smell like rotting books. The slow decay of sun-drenched plastics and films. Mixed with cardboard and candy.
I was going to say, Family Video had the same smell, super distinctive
Brand new PC components and games had a certain smell about them too.
Used to get shivers smelling a brand new manual.
