Can You Smell That Smell

[Kevy Baby]

Before they tore it down a year or two ago, there was a Nabisco cookie factory in Buena Park (right off the I-5).

I had a customer who's office was on the back side of the plant. Not every time I visited, but often, the aroma was very distracting (good smell - not bad). We sometimes had to make a quick run to the corner story for a quick fix.

Yep, and that just so happens to be where they used to bake 'Nilla Wafers. I used to drool every time I drove past.

I love the smell of Nilla Wafer in the morning.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned driving on the 15 between the 60 and the 91 - through Chino/Ontario/Norco. I am not sure if it is still like this, but I remember driving through on a very warm summer night after a rare mid-summer rain. Even though I put the AC on "maximum" (so that it recycles the air in the car rather than drawing outside air in), the smell from all the dairy farms in the area made my eyes water.

That was some NASTY stench.

I drove a friend home last night. I got a wiff of dairy. It brought back a lot of memories. Dairy smell doen't bother me, I grew up in dairy country (Hilmar). The only one that got to me was a verrrry stinky, nasty, pathetic dairy, that was located on the main road between Hilmar and Turlock. Even with the dairy down the street, and the turkey ranch behind our property, the only odors we really had to deal with came from one of the Gallo plants (which also brought us fruit flies), located in Livingston.
