    Or poliester fleece or blanket when you hear little sparks.
    Some will remember playing with a CRT TV screen 👀

      I remember the feeling and the sound, but not scent.

        Smells kinda dry and vaguely fishy/metallic. It’s very distinct, you know it when you smell it.

        Should be noted however that it’s not very healthy to breathe it in and large and/or repeated exposures can cause respiratory damage. Some static electricity is probably fine but I don’t want to encourage someone to go out there and learn what it smells like first hand
