Lets get our minds off the horrors of this world.......

....and focus on something completely unrelated.

what is the worst odor in the world?

- i can't stand the smell of tuna fish mixed with onions. i could retch just thinking of it.

You know that tupperware container sitting in the back of the fridge? The one that's been sitting there for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time? The one that is a solid grey-green in color, despite the fact that the container is clear? And when you open it, you lean in for a big whiff, before your brain says to you, "DON'T YOU MORON! THAT'S MOLD!"

I actually became light-headed after smelling it, the room started spinning, and there was an awful taste in my mouth afterwards. It was awful, i tell ya, AWFUL!
And the worst part....to this day, I still can't identify what it may have been:wow:

Lololol...to quote George Carlin, "Could be meat, could be cake....."

Something I remembered. You know that pure-sugar smell at one of those Gumballs stores in the mall? Yechhhh! I can practically feel my teeth rotting.

how about that korean dish, kimchee?

[milagros317]

Burning rubber smells really, really bad. :devil:

[TKpervert]

sorry guys, dogshit takes the cake. BAD !! BAD !!

I MEAN BAD !!!!

[gila67]

I say it's the hot tar they use for roofing.

[the_Baron]

dogshit is bad, TKpervert (i laugh as i type your name).

but elephant shit or horse shit is much more powerful. ever been at a circus?

that stuff has hay in it, and just reeks. althought hay has nothing to do with the odor issue, i do like the texture of shit with hay, so i mention it for artistic purposes only.

[Flatfoot]

To me, dog shit isn't as bad as cat shit. Take one of those enclosed litterboxes, let a few cats fill it up, and then take the top off. The ammonia smell from the urine hits you in the face like a sack of nickels, and then the crap smell mixed with it makes a deadly combination.

[the_Baron]

...okay, i'm lifting the lid.....almost there.....wafting, wafting....Wooo! amonia and shit!

oooh-weee baby!

[Knox The Hatter]

There is nothing worse than the smell of a decomposing animal...or a human.

[tklgal226]

the classic 'rotten egg' smell i think is the worst- even thinking about it puts a bad taste in my mouth!

~clair :xlime:

[leafstk]

I absolutely DETESTED the smell of the dog food factory I had to work in when I was a teenager.... ACK! :xlime: Ahh well, it was good money for a summer job, lol :rolleyes:

[the_Baron]

ever walk into a cheese store? the conflaguration of all those cheeses just hits you like a brick wall.

[desdemona]

So many smells qualify...

First, for me, any seafood or fish (including tuna). It killed me when my cat would only eat 9 Lives Tuna varieties...

Second, the SH*T debate: herbivore's have a more tolerable manure than carnivores. Parvo puppy bloody diarrhea ranks up there as one of the foulest things on earth.

Other less than favorite smells: 1) formaldehyde - permeates the skin's pores and you can't get the stench out of your clothes. 2) I agree with Knox...rotting flesh of any kind; burning flesh (i.e. electrocautery) isn't all that wonderful either. 3) Poison...the perfume. I had a roomate who wore it. Let me tell you, a little goes a long way, and a little can kill your sense of taste/smell for a week.

Such a wonderful thread on olfaction....thank you, Baron.

Sour cream,just the smell of that will get me gagging There is a dish they serve up in North Dakota called Ludafisk (sp) The Norwegian settlers bought it over from Norway,they should've left it there It is some kind of smelly fish dish Verie sad state of affairs

[the_Baron]

i despise the smell of malt vinegar. the kind that is often served with an order of fish and chips. i have to take my food and eat elsewhere.

:sowrong:

[TKpervert]

ok, the odor that drifts to your left nostril as your dentist uses one of those 15 kazillion rpm drills to demolish selected parts of your treasured dentition...

[bratgirl365(aka Trixie)]
