Original Commentary

Yes, for our purposes, Richard and Sinclair count as one character. I think this is the second time we've mentioned what Lemon Technology actually does. When writing this, I did some research. I'm still not sure if any companies actually do this in the real world. As importantly, you'd never hear about them if they did. There's got to be somebody making money creating and selling functional fragrances to companies who choose not to make their own - and you'd figure that a lot of small-to-medium companies wouldn't. No point trying to re-invent concentrated pine scent - Terrence

Modern Commentary
There's a Twilight Zone episode, A Kind of a Stopwatch, in which the lead character keeps making inane and irrelevant suggestions in his company's suggestion box. Like how hot dogs should be square so you can serve them in hamburger buns. That's probably an influence on Richard and Sinclair's constant stream of good-for-other-companies business ideas. - Terrence
