The posted offering by CivMin on Twitter and Instagram included the announcement scented concrete is now available in five aromas, including grape, lime, blueberry, lemon and cherry with the text, “Have you heard of the latest innovation in concrete technology? It makes a lot of ‘scents’ to us!”

CivMin is delighted to be included with the cross-Canada roundup, including larger institutions, such as MEC, RCMP, BC Transportation, Domino’s Canada, Ram Trucks Canada, Edmonton Police and others.

The writeup applauded CivMin’s pun:

Who knew the Civil and Mineral Engineering Department at the University of Toronto had such a scents of humour? The group invited its followers to “grab a scratch n’ sniff sample today” of scented concrete in five aromas: grape, lime, blueberry, lemon, and cherry. Something tells me they won’t really smell like fruits if there’s even any concrete to be shared. ~Daily Hive
