Narrative:
[Acrid] fumes filled the 1LR and 2LR galley at altitude of 7;000 feet. Same as former fume events. Acrid sweet dirty smell with irritation to throat. After landing; told the pilots. Was told it was deicing fluid. No; it wasn't. The plane had sat at the departure airport since the day before and we didn't deice. It was nothing like deciding fluid. I have been in 5 fume events. I am very familiar with the smell. We have this plane again tomorrow. Plane needs to be removed from service and identify the source of the leaking oil getting into air bleed system.
