Steak-Scented Billboard Entices Drivers 282
In addition to car exhaust and road grime, travelers along Highway 150 in North Carolina can now enjoy the smell of a barbecue thanks to a new billboard. The work of ScentAir, which provides custom scents for businesses, the advertisement for a local grocer emits the smell of charcoal and black pepper over the highway. "Marketing director Murray Dameron said the beef scent was emitted by a high-powered fan at the bottom of the billboard that blows air over cartridges loaded with BBQ fragrance oil. 'It smells like grilled meat with a nice pepper rub on it,' he explained."

I'm more concerned with that billboard for Sceptic tank repair.

I wonder what the billboards for the local strip clubs will smell like.
Sweaty perverts and broken dreams I imagine.

Then I realized that they had not, in fact, made a misteak.
ARGH I hate you for using that stupid pun. I hope the next time you pull out into an intersection you get T-Boned!

I hope they start selling this stuff in cans. I could use it as vegan repelent.

Probably on the 10th or so time Animal Control gets called about the packs of stray dogs surrounding and defending the billboard...

Irritated isn't quite what I would call it.
It takes 1 breath of air near scented candles to cause me "irritation". A few minutes of exposure to scented candles and I will have chest pain and trouble breathing. It takes 15 minutes of exposure to scented candles and I will actually start bleeding from my nose. More than that soon I will start vomiting.
The chemicals used in many cleaning products and perfumes cause similar, but less severe reactions as well.

I am appaled that the post above was moderated as "Funny".
This is a serious problem for many people, and that is not a joke!
Myself, I would suffer a migraine attack from 15 minutes exposure of the wrong type of scented candles (some are OK, some are not, it depends on the chemical in the scent). .. and can have an adverse effect on your body in the long term.
And even if I can "cure" the migraine with medicine, that medicine has side-effects such as nausea, sleepiness and sluggishness
I have had to make the cleaning woman at the office change to using different cleaning products so that I wouldn't suffer migraines there.
I have to change seats in the subway if someone with strong perfume seats herself (it is usually an older woman) too close to me.
This is no joke.
