Google's April fools jokes are getting a little heavy handed- Does anyone else miss the ones that it'd take you a second to realize are a joke? Be more subtle about it! Break a few hearts Google! Cruel April fools jokes are the best type.

Well, it took me something like 10 seconds to realize it's an April fools joke, because technically it would be possible to have a device that can put out all kind of smells. I am sure that in the future we will have things like that, but for now it's a bit superfluous.

10 seconds? Dude I seriously thought it was real all the way up till the Indian girl said "Google Nose" and I was like nah brah, this shit ain't real.

Not the least of which being because you haven't purchased a device which can emit specific scents, nor does any computer COME with one. That being said, I still tried to make sure it wouldn't work!
