I’m weirdly obsessed with smelling and comparing different consumer goods (shampoo, laundry detergent, and deodorants)

Gotta smell the inside of a cup or bowl when taking it out of the pantry. If it smells wrong, I have to wash it first. I don't know why.

I do this too, sometimes it just smells like its festering with bacteria and first must be scortched.

What does a bad one smell like?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Like...stale or just...weird? I don't know how to describe it. If it only smells like glass or cleaning such, it's good. Anything else is bad.

I have to smell the black pepper shaker any time I use it. Not because I'm worried that there's something wrong with it, but because black pepper smells good.
