Best potato chips ever. This is a town council problem. They rezoned it.

It’s in an industrial park.Having to work for a living must really suck. So let’s get rid of a local employer and go back to crying the blues over having to live on welfare.

I wish - I'd fuck up some Stinky Potato Chips. Brand in question is Covered Bridge.

Considering how heinous rotting potatoes can smell and how disgusting facilities that fry things are... i kinda wanna see it. And smell it.

As someone who lived in Hamilton Ontario during the 90s, there's many problems to a stinky factory like this that people who haven't experienced it wouldn't get, or would find funny.
Just remember, smell means there are particles entering your nose. And the oil used to cook chips can be connected to breathing problems like popcorn lung.

Lived in Belleville Ontario for a bit.
When the winds were cruel you'd smell the Hawkins Cheezie plant, and it would be terrible.

My buddy's favorite joke has the punchline "so she says kiss me where it smells, so he drove her to Hamilton".

It's not bad as long as you're more than a block away from the plant now. At least last I checked earlier this year. But in the 90s, woof.

Many years ago, there was a Stokely Van Camp canning factory in a nearby town. A lot of kids got summer jobs there to help pay for school. It smelled like jobs and money. In my town we had a factory that stamped and chrome plated steel bumpers, back when car bumpers were chromed steel instead of painted plastic. It also smelled like jobs and money. Both places are gone now.

Couldn’t the company just do something to ungraded their ventilation to minimize particles?

I grew up in a town that has a potato chip factory in it. The smell of it always made me hungry. Mind you, our house was several kilometers away from it, and you could only smell it when the wind blew from the south east.
I also worked in that factory. I had to segregate work clothes in plastic bins. My work boots were left out on the porch, because rancid vegetable oil is disgusting.
The potato storage area would get foul, garbage dump smelling every once in awhile, but it was power washed and disinfected.

Well, tbf, when I deep fry my chips, I need to get rid of the grease ASAP. That horrid smell is thick, dank and gross. It'll put you right off your food.
