What's that smell - a sign?
« on: June 03, 2010, 08:50:45 AM »
OK, here's the latest marketing gimic here - they installed a sign with a fan that spews out steak cooking odor:   :shock:

My favorite part of the story:  "Mahesh Shah, owner of the Quick Mart Shell gas station next door, didn't even realize that the billboard was supposed to smell until the media arrived.  "If nobody tells, you don't know," he said as traffic zoomed by. Not that he'd be tempted anyway: He doesn't eat meat."     :lol:

Reminds me of the old joke - two cannibals were cooking a stew made from a comedian - one asked the other "does this smell funny to you?"    :roll:

Good stuff....especially the Maharadja part.

We probably should buy a Powerball ticket or five thousand from his esteemed establishment.
