California Bus Stops Stink…Like Cookies

Yesterday, bus shelters in California started smelling like chocolate chip cookies as part of a Got Milk campaign. The smell comes not from actual, fresh-baked cookies but from New York-based Arcade Marketing’s Magniscent adhesive stickers. Great. As if there weren’t already enough drooling kooks at bus stops already. Now everyone’s tongue will be hanging out, dripping saliva and jonesing for cookies.

UPDATE: A bunch of cause group idiots with nothing better to so than make life miserable for the rest of us complained and got the campaign pulled because of the so called damage the scent could do to “chemically sensitive” people.
