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

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

        I used to stay down the road from the HP sauce factory in Brum. That kicks out some rare old stinks that you don't want to be downwind of.

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

          This[^] business is located about a quarter mile from my house. When the breeze is from that direction, and they're firing up the furnaces that day, you can get a faint whiff of burnt metal in the morning. When the wind is blowing fairly hard, and it's really humid (like today), the stench is hard to take X|. To top it all off, we're running a local special on mashed pole cat on our local roads this week. The world stinks today.

            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.

            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...

                    Near where I used to live was a peanut roasting factory, and the stench was awful. So after numerous complaints, the owners remedied the situation by putting in an artificial smell to cover the bad one. From then on the whole area was enclosed in the aroma of roast chicken. Hmmmmm...Chicken...Must eat chicken... Seriously, the sales of KFC in the area rose by 300%!

                      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
