No, we’re not talking about Junior’s dirty diaper. We’re talking about that weird syrupy odor that’s been wafting through the city that makes you feel like you have an Eggo waffle affixed to your face. You’ve probably noticed it on and off for awhile now, and today Bloomberg finally addressed its cause. Apparently, it’s emanating from “facilities in New Jersey that process food additives and fragrances.” Specifically, a company called Frutarom. The place isn’t violating any rules or regs, so the syrupy smell may stick around for a while–no pun intended. It’s always Jersey’s fault, isn’t it?
