The online advertisement reads: "The box is recloseable. Therefore, you're able to enjoy the original countryside air a few times." Hmm. Livestock farmers' neighbours in Canada often complain about the smell. And they are getting it for free. What gives? Is that odour better because it's Bavarian? Or maybe because it comes with a lid?
