I, for one, would have absolutely no idea where to donate my cedar clothes hangers once they lost their scent —not that I'd ever notice in the first place. 

This question was born from that famous quote from Arrested Development's fabulously out-of-touch Lucille Bluth. "I mean, it's one banana Michael, what could it cost? Ten dollars?"
