I used to believe that the smell of chocolate was a universal sign that it was going to rain. Adults would say, "I can smell chocolate. It must be going to rain." Then I realized that it was because I lived in Selly Oak, Birmingham and the wind that came from the direction of Cadbury's factory was the wind that often brought rain.
