Unfortunately, WebSmell-o-Vision has not yet been unilaterally pushed by the dudes at Google to do this news justice, but as a croissant connaisseur I would have at least appreciated a webp of the thing instead of some random archive image. It’s a stamp, for christ’s sake.
I wish we had croussants here in teh states (tiny speciality shops not withstanding). They are a rare. instead we get a weird butter flavored croissant shaped bread with nothing of the texture or aroma of the real thing.
Because most in North America are made with margarine or a mix of margarine and butter, so much of the butter "taste" is fake. That's also why the lamination is worse.
Most modern glues are synthetic. Super glue is usually cyanoacrylate, regular glue sticks might be Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA). Outside of specialty glues that are intentionally going for old school methods, it's not really a thing anymore

There is a pic here and it’s quite nice imo: https://www.wopa-plus.com/en/stamps/product/&pid=105515
But wopa-plus does even mention the essential detail?

Here I was misreading the article that it was croissant-shaped, not scented, until I saw a picture.
I'm holding out for a <smell> HTML tag.
And of course the `olfactoryFactory` component for Enterprise™ frameworks.

La Frenchtech at its peak.

Nice, we got 4 fruits in Switzerland: https://shop.post.ch/en/stamps-philately/philately/single-st...
I miss my concrete stamps... A bit rough on the tongue but still lovely
Do they taste buttery when you lick them?
I am holding off for the red wine flavoured one.
Can't wait for the cheeses
Now this is the future I’ve been waiting for
La Poste might have invented the first non-vegan stamps in history.
I hope they don't turn rancid.
Given the normal process for making glue I wouldn't be so certain.

How recently were stamps with glue invented?
Try and find a good one in France. Harder than you’d think

In Paris? Sure. You're competing with tourists. Almost any rural bakery? No. You'd have to try to find something shitty.
In Paris, look for the little old ladies carrying half-baguettes and go in the direction they're coming from.
