14 Problems Only People From Manchester Will Understand
11. The Smell Of Vomit Coming From The Kelloggs Factory
Youd think a factory that makes Coco Pops and Rice Crispies would be snap, crackle and popping its way to some sort of best smell in the world award. Youd be wrong though. The Kelloggs factory smells of sick. Nobody knows why, so just wind your windows up and get on with your journey. If you've ever experienced the uniquely sour and yeasty aroma emanating from this impressive red brick power house, you could be forgiven for losing faith in the magic of the confectionery production process all together, but don't be downbeat, for a truly lovely industrial nosegasm exists just across town. Get yourself down to Levenshulme or Heaton Chapel while the McVities factory is kicking out the jams and take a big of whiff of childhood. Nothing beats it. Apropos of nothing, an old Coco Pops advert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6MWhn1eixI
