Same thing at the Goodyear factory! The rule was, you can eat as many tires as you want as long as you get your work done, but the whole place smelled so much like melted rubber that hardly anyone took advantage of it.

I was at a factory tour at ferrero with my school class 17 years ago. The smell was so bad that i still wont touch chocolate with very few exceptions today. Sometimes a piece with 95%+ cocoa is fine but i just cannot eat/enjoy the sweet milk chocolate anymore.

You can get a summer job at HARIBO in the Solingen or Bonn factories and if you're anything like me you won't be able to eat gummies after that for at least a year, because you get nauseuos at the smell.

Pay is good though, or at least it was in the early 2000s.

Well you do have to work, but no. There are pallets and pallets of sugary goodness around you. Need to go anywhere in the factory? You're passing by more than a metric ton of smurfs or berries or wine gummies or, mostly, gummy bears. All sorted by colour, because they get mixed in the oackaging machines.

And every now and then the sudden, vile smell of burnt gummy hits you because the machines that heat-seal the bags have malfunctioned and burnt half a pound inside the plastic again.
