Just in time for the holidays, the sweet smell of syrup is back. Investigative journalists and city officials had since Oct. 27 to investigate the scent – when it first showed up in Midtown – but still, nobody knows where it's coming from. Manhattanites do, however, know what it smells like.

• "Sweet"
• "Sweet, sweet, sweet"
• "Like pancake syrup"

There you have it folks: Something worth sniffing in New York, again. Here at Jossip HQ, we've got a vent of some sort right around the corner from us that's leaking the "sweet, sweet, sweet" smell of syrup. So if you don't hear from us in the next hour, that's where you can find it, getting high on fumes. And sniffing the syrup.
