They were talking about this on Sirius Hits One today while I was listening to it.

Saw a clip on the news up here a couple weeks back about one of the suburbs using molases in with the salt brine. I guess it smelled like gingerbread when they spray it.

It smells like pasta outside our house right now.

Try living across the road from Burke in Nevada. It always smells like pizza toppings or garlic bread, 365 days a year.

I noticed a couple people out rubbing bread on 1st street today. That makes sense now.

Great idea for Tones, too. Why toss it when they can get it used. As a bonus their workers can get in easier :)
