It smelled like hot chocolate at 8:30 in south park slope tonight.

I drive on the BQE everyday. At about 6 or 7pm every night it seems to smell like candy just before the exit for the prospect expressway (I head eastbound from Brooklyn to Manhattan). Different candy every night. Weird.

Yesterday, I caught my first whiff of the smell near houston and bleecker. Much stronger than I had imagined, it smelled very buttery. Very strange.

Huh. I thought the smell only came on Thursdays...

I thought the smell came on Thursdays, too, which is why we were surprised to hear about this. Some day we'll find out what it was and we'll be terribly disgusted.
