Mystery smell overwhelms Pennsylvania county again, investigators baffled |
2020-02-27 |
![]() The smell has recently been reported in towns across the county, including in Glenolden, Tinicum and Upper Darby, just outside of Philadelphia. While no one knows what the elusive smell is or where it is coming from, residents have described it as fuel-like. Delaware County residents have reported the smell wafting in and out of neighborhoods over the last several months. Last October, the smell shut down several businesses and a school in Chester before striking Brookhaven in December, FOX29 Philadelphia reported at the time. The most recent stench is consistent with past reports, according to officials, but investigators still can’t find the source. |

#8 Has anyone seen AlGore? Is he eating bean burritos again? And did it snow? Snow does seem to follow him around. |

#6 Remember the little glass Stink Bombs? I have two of them I'm saving for a special occasion, like maybe the next candlelight vigil at the State House in Boston. |

#5 Proven one of the smelliest smells are military latrines. Next perhaps worse " Liquid ASS pranks are repeatable. Since it is stealthy, you won't get caught. Since Liquid ASS is a smell that causes people to suspect sewer gas, dog poop, dead animal, etc., the idea that it might be a prank never crosses their mind". Have fun. |

#4 Got breathlessness, coughing, angina? Unwrapped a new geegaw from China? Or maybe it's fracking -- Sue someone, get cracking! -- Or just Gwynneth Paltrow's refiner...y. |

#3 Have you walked the ravines and creek beds of your property lately? I recommend a Personal Oxygen Safety Monitor and filing a flight plan with family or a neighbor. If breathing becomes labored or difficult, return to the house immediately. No smoking please. Further questions should be directed to your County Extension Office. |
