"One passenger took to Reddit to describe the scent as "far too strong and makes me feel a bit nauseous". Another commuter criticised it as a "weird artificial chocolate smell like a chocolate-scented bubble bath", adding: "(It's) not really appetising at all, I don't like it.""
"The advert, installed on Monday in a tunnel connecting St Pancras railway station and King's Cross St Pancras Tube station, aims to engage passers-by with its distinctive aroma. However, the initiative has not been universally welcomed."
"Transport for London (TfL) employees based at the station have also voiced concerns, telling The Times that the pervasive smell infiltrates their break room, prompting them to complain to St Pancras station management."
Transport for London installed a "multi-sensory" Magnum ice cream advertisement in a tunnel connecting St Pancras railway station and King's Cross St Pancras Tube station on Monday. The advertisement emits a strong chocolate scent designed to engage passersby. The initiative has provoked negative reactions from multiple groups. Passengers reported the scent as excessively strong, causing nausea, and described it as an unappealing artificial chocolate smell resembling scented bubble bath rather than appetizing ice cream. Transport for London employees stationed at the interchange also complained, noting the pervasive odor infiltrates their break room, prompting them to escalate concerns to St Pancras station management.
