Certs – breath mints; Arrid – anti-antiperspirant/deodorant; Jontue – popular, inexpensive perfume. Any parent who has ever had to transport a car full of over-deodorized, over-cologned, over-perfumed middle schoolers knows exactly what Bernice is talking about.
My mom used to carry a roll of Certs in her purse. Usually fruit flavored. At least Luann isn’t wearing her “Charlie Brown” shirt today. I remember this arc. Tomorrow will by VERY funny! Lol!

They’re scents. Ugh, wearing 3 at the same time – her sinuses must be completely blocked.

Sorry, Certs is actually a breath mint. Arrid is a deodorant. But still.

And I thought Anais Anais by Cacharel was the popular perfume back then. Or maybe that was in the early 80’s before this strip.

It’s around this age that kids learn that a bunch of good smells mixed together equals one awful stench! (Had to look up Jontue on Google myself.)
