The cheesy streets of Milwaukee

Also, salt dissociates, and the molar freezing point depression you get is doubled (or better, depending on the salt) compared to sugar.

I mean, I like cheese and everything, but if we find out that a smell does get produced under certain conditions, I’d rather have a smell of beer. Mmm…

Keeping in mind that I personally don’t care for the smell of beer, the smell of a brewery is worse. Though come to think of it, cheese factories aren’t exactly wonderful smelling either.

It’s never OK to eat yellow snow.

Don’t drink it, either. (This is actually the best selling beer in the world by volume, unless if you count Bud, Bud light etc. as one beer.)

These explain it quite well. First the regular answer. Second the fun answer involving entropy.

Maybe basil, or oregano. Wouldn’t do anything for the ice, but it would smell great.

The umami flavor from the cheese let’s you use less salt.

There was a brief experiment with some sort of gunk left over from making soy sauce, I think, in Denver, back when Wellington Webb was mayor. It was a brown, funny-smelling goop. It stuck to the bottom of your shoes and every building quickly had brown skid marks inside their doors. The experiment was quickly deemed a failure.
