Thats too funny. Seriously though. When we bought it,we opened it and immediatly smelled the chocolate syrup in it. But ther was something else. Something sweet and tangy. We were on the line one day and my buddy said it smelled like chocolate syrup and the michigan cherry candy. We both tasted it. Sure enough, it tasted like it smelled. In reality, it has been a producer- but no more than regular chocolate syrup. It's not that strong of a smell either. Now, the Laughing Lady is a very strong odor producing sweet smell. And taste. I think I can make something similar with vaseline and loganberry or watermelon extract oil.
