The Daily Record:

“The ad for the next Bond movie could smell of dry martini, which would at least make us buy the paper, if not go to see the movie. The new Bruce Willis shoot-em-up adventure could be promoted with the smell of cordite. And, as a service to the cinema-going public, the next Adam Sandler ad could have a whiff of turkey about it.”
