My favorite smell is the smell of fresh burning wood of bonfires. As I breathe in the smoky smell of fire, I start to picture Silver Dollar City. I begin to hear the crowds of people stepping on the crunchy leaves and making sounds of delight when they see their favorite roller coaster.

The warmth in my body makes me gambol to the

Schlosser provides his personal experience when he went to visit the International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF) where the company is responsible for making our food taste the way it does. There, Schlosser reveals that the “snack-and-savory lab is responsible for the flavors of potato chips, corn chips, … and pet food. The confectionary lab devises flavors for ice cream, cookies, candies, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and antacids” (73).
