Lemon

This is a real-life example of the Baudrillardian simulation replacing the real, obliterating it completely.

The woman had likely never smelled a real lemon (even if she had seen them in grocery stores), but had only experienced lemon-scented products. Thus, “lemon” to her was not connected to anything other than itself. It did not exist apart from its product associations and their scents.

I see examples of this fairly often, but this is pretty egregious one.
