Even if you were a milk drinker - why would cookies make you think of milk?

[Guest guest]

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - What was billed as a pleasing alternative

to exhaust fumes at San Francisco bus stops ended after officials on

Tuesday ordered the removal of advertisements that gave off the scent

of baked cookies.

 

The fragrant billboards, posted at five bus shelters on Monday in an

effort by dairy producers to make passengers thirsty for milk, had to

come down because the shelters' maintenance contractor had not

informed San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency officials,

said an agency spokeswoman.

 

" What they did not do is consult with anybody at our agency prior to

doing that, " spokeswoman Maggie Lynch said. " We found out from a

reporter. Apparently everybody knew besides us. "

 

The agency also received several complaints from bus riders concerned

that the aroma might not be safe, she said.

 

The project was cooked up by the California Milk Processor Board,

whose " Got Milk? " campaign has adorned famous figures around the

world with milk moustaches for 13 years.

 

The milk board said in a statement on Tuesday that the scent's

ingredients were flavour-based oils found in many foods. The campaign

used scent-infused adhesives affixed under bus benches and inside the

shelters.

 

" It is unfortunate that the MTA has requested the removal of our

scented bus shelter ads, " the milk board said. " The Got Milk? scented

bus shelters were intended to be a tasteful change from the frequent

blasts of exhaust that permeate the air around some of San

Francisco's bus shelters. "
