"In addition to car exhaust and road grime, travelers along Highway 150 in North Carolina can now enjoy the smell of a barbecue thanks to a new billboard. The work of ScentAir, which provides custom scents for businesses, the advertisement for a local grocer emits the smell of charcoal and black pepper over the highway. Marketing director Murray Dameron said the beef scent was emitted by a high-powered fan at the bottom of the billboard that blows air over cartridges loaded with BBQ fragrance oil. 'It smells like grilled meat with a nice pepper rub on it,' he explained."

Great. Thanks a lot now I am hungry.
 
Some of the comments under the article are the best part:

Then I realized that they had not, in fact, made a misteak.

ARGH I hate you for using that stupid pun. I hope the next time you pull out into an intersection you get T-Boned!

Really? I thought it was remarkably well done.


Seeing a thread with this many good puns in it is pretty rare.
