FRESH SURGE LITTLE TREES FAILS TO SAVE THESE CARS FROM THE CRUSHER

[Mark-x]

With all the wrecking yards I visit while searching for interesting discarded vehicles, I see lots of the iconic Car-Freshner Little Tree air fresheners dangling from soon-to-be-crushed rear-view mirrors. I'd say that New Car Scent, Black Ice, and Vanillaroma make up 80% of the Little Trees I see in such locations, mostly because those are the scents most likely to be found in convenience stores and gas stations, but Car-Freshner currently sells 36 scents in the United States (other regions have other scents, of course), and dozens more have come and gone over the decades. Here's my collection of photos of the rare Fresh Surge trees, a citrus/fruit/spice-scented tree that appeared around 2015 but didn't stick around long, captured in junkyards located in four states.
