Ya know, another smell that ought to be banned....
Popcorn.
A couple of the hardware stores I frequent have popcorn machines, and often in the process or just recently finished popping a batch.
Yum. They give it away free for the asking, but I feel like a moocher for asking.
They do that at the ACE Hardware in town. My father likes to go there just for the popcorn. If it’s empty he asks them to make a new batch!
