I live around the corner from their old factory. Used to be able to smell it all over the south end of the city. Mmmm.

My house in Niagara Falls is a few blocks from the Post Shreddies factory. I don't even care for shreddies, but they smell great on the drive to work in the morning.

That is awesome. Why do they call it Ovaltine? The can's round, the mug is round... They should call it Round-tine"....

But anywho, where was their old factory?

The Tyson chicken factory is in downtown Cumming GA. On clear, breezy summer evenings, the town will reek of chicken E36 M3....

The highway exit for an old apartment of mine in St. Louis often smelled like purple. You know what I'm talking about. Not grape, purple.

Never could figure it out. Best guess is it was coming from the Tums factory downtown when the wind was right. But never any other flavor, only purple.

I used to work in between two large factories. Voortmans cookies on one side, and Fearmans pork packers on the other side. Some days is smelled great. Other days, not so much.

The powdered metal that I work with smells like Nestle's quick.

I think that's sour grapes. The originator of this thread knows that smell.

Drove thru Hershey, Penn and I wasn't sure if I was going to drool to death or gain 10 lbs. from the smell.

They produce mostly color and drug products on the north side, but they used to do flavors.

The Quaker Plant is here too, some days the entire city smells like Captain Crunch.

Standing out in the street you rarely smell the factory. Its usually either burning from the industrial area off the riverfront or hops from one of the breweries. Probably Schlafly.
