    I worked as a garbage collector for a couple summers as a student. Over the course of a load, the juice would accumulate at the bottom of the truck’s loading area and slush around while driving. It looked a lot like chocolate milk… I wouldn’t recommend having a sip though.

      It would’ve cost you nothing to not write that and make us all almost puke with the thought of the smell. That’s disgusting!

        Talking about the smell, I would lovingly refer to it as our very own cologne called ‘eau de garbage’

          Did you have a place at work you could shower before leaving? Or did you have to get home smelling of it? I’ve always wondered that.

            Yea we could shower at work, most people at the place I worked at didn’t though cause they didn’t live that far away and rather took a good shower at home
