But once you keep reading and find out what it is, you'll realize it's SO Jersey. And I love it, too. More than ANY OTHER smell.

Not long ago, my body went through a phase where I had severely low iron levels. I had to get iron infusions to bring them up.

What creeped me out was that, at that time, I CRAVED the smell of pungent things. Nail polish. Nail polish REMOVER. Sharpie markers. Rubbing alcohol. I felt like someone on that TLC show 'My Stange Addiction'. Apparently, people with low iron levels can experience Pica, which, according to Cleveland Clinic, is the strange desire to smell or eat toxic things.

So, even though my iron levels are stable now, you might not be surprised to find I'm in the majority of Garden Staters who love to get a whiff of New Jersey's #1 favorite scent.
