I love the smell of burnt metal in the morning

HP sauce factory

Hewlett-Packard makes sauces in addition to hardware? This explains much. As a counterpoint, when I was a kid we had a potato chip company down the street from us. When they were cooking, the smell was awesome :cool: :-D.

Travelling from North London into Liverpool St. Station, the train passed, usually very, very slowly, a soap factory. Now that was a stench. X|

I used to work near a coffee factory. Not sure what they did exactly, but in the mornings you could walk into work and smell fresh coffee! It was quite nice! :)

Try adding wool-scourers to the list of bad smell emitters - they'll be somewhere near the top (or is that the bottom?)

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

The used to be a sweet factory across the road from my school that produced some lovely aromas :-). They also had a badly maintained fence and produced the sweets in big bags that were easy to sling over the frame of a bike and wheel away down the railway lines, allegedly. Andy B

Yes but no-one has ever seen them. HP have a policy of never revealing their sauces.

Having experienced first-hand the putrid, slimy mess that is their software (and their hardware, these days), it's probably a good policy.

Take a break and play with the Hidden Reflex Epic somewhere else. Or is it hidden epic reflex?

I bought a bottle of HP Sauce recently. I've only got three more payments to make and it's mine.

One of my first jobs was in a wool combers/scourers, I caught the bus near to the fat rendering plant after walking past the sewage works. Is it a wonder that I have virtually no sense of smell left

My old neighborhood was a little plat of 20 houses located next to a state highway. We were surrounded by farms, one of which used 'organic' fertilizers exclusively. Also, half a mile away was a chicken farm. It got a little 'ripe' occasionally.

Burnt metal smells quite nice, to me.

Um, I'd forgotten chicken poo... Pig farms are as bad, I used to ride past a huge one on the way to work, and if the wind was blowing the wrong way...

Where I work is opposite the Wrigleys chewing gum factory. Juicy Fruit days are the best :-D edit: when I say the Wrigleys factory I mean the one in England
