Careful Where you scratch

a smell of gas broke out in several buildings in Great Falls, Montana. It all turned out to be scratch n' sniff cards which caused the public to evacuate the area. Nick Bohr, general manager at Energy West, said: "They were expired, and they were old. They threw them into the dumpsters."

They really should be more careful even with these simple contraptions, put them in a plastic bag or something that zips shut.

  • That is crazy, who would've thought it would have been that?

  • Ew! That's really weird. At least it sort of prepared people for when something does happen..

  • That would be so scary. I can't believe they were just scratch n' sniff cards.

  • Its weird that they can smell like gas! I thought scratch and sniffs had a certain scent!

  • That is kinda funny that they evacuated the area because of scratch 'n' sniff stickers. At least if it was an actually problem they did a good job solving the problem.

  • I agree, they need to be more careful about stuff like that. That's weird that they started smelling like gas.
  • That is just plain weird! and as for the people who conducted the search, better safe than sorry :)

  • I never thought that a scratch and sniff card could expire. It's actually kind of gross in my opinion. Like really they smell like gass?
  • I wonder if scratch and sniff stickers can expire too? Kind of funny that they smell like a gas leak.

  • that is crazy that happened to the car because i never would of guessed that that could happen to a scratch and sniff card.
