Post up the weirdest, most unexpected aromas from certain objects; whether it’s a pleasurable smell, or revolting smell, or just plain unexpected smell, post it up! (Keep it clean ladies and gentlemen)
Mine?
Just today, when I was burning a dvd for a very impatient, very annoying old-dude, so I pulled out my stack of black dvd’s, and notice for the first time (I don’t burn dvd’s all too often) that each one smelled like maple syrup.
I found that weird, and placed it up there with the most surprising smells; then decided that it would be a good idea (it isn’t, but I’m still doing it) to start a new thread in my randomness-dumping ground.
sometimes when the water hits my hair in the morning, i get an unexpected smell of gasoline. that’s when i know i drove selene for 3 or more hours the night before :R
when you’re driving west on highway 7, as you’re approaching centre street there’s a sweet smell of bubble gum for some odd reason. there’s a mcdonalds on the right side, but no factories in sight … kinda weird
the worst i’ve ever smelt was moth balls, when someone threw some in out cafeteria back when i was in high school on the last day before graduation. it was a revolting, you’re afraid to breath smell, and got only worse when someone acidentially stepped on one.
