Default Automotive Air Freshener, NEED YOUR HELP!

Hi,

Since there are so many people here from all walks of life, I figure it's a great place to perform a marketing poll. I'm trying to get a job with a company that makes air fresheners for cars - not the most exciting thing in the world but I really like the job and the company. For my interview I would like to impress my to-be boss and show that I'm serious, so I want to arm myself with some polling numbers. Your help is greatly appreciated!

By the way, I made a typo: it's fragrant BEADS/PEARLS, not beets

If you read the owners manual they say bad bad bad to air fresheners. Seems they can harm the leather etc. causing it to crack. Look it up. I'll see if I can find it when i get home.

Drop the Top™ and Let the Fresh Air In ™ are the only air fresheners I use.
Of course, I don't smoke so there's very little in the way of odors.
Most of the time.

I voted OTHER, thought I really don't use them...if you go to the pet section of Walmart, you'll find pet odor eliminators. It's a bag with little rocks in it. It absorbs moisture so it's not musty in the car. My dad had one for his Cherokee about 10 years ago.

I'd think twice about taking a job with this company. Unless they have a feremone scented air freshener, its looking like they'll be out of business soon.

LOL, air fresheners are just a small part of this company - very small.

Tons of girls that I know here at college seme to have an obsession with air freshners. Problem is they always buy different scents so the car reaks.

ah yes, so you would say air fresheners with its molecules having the disappearing properties after it expires would be best?
