For the people who don't know cyanide supposedly smells or tastes like almonds.
They smell like bitter almonds, which smell very different than the sweet almonds most people are used to. https://youtu.be/WYagO-nup6c?si=E_O44PHdOrSZanX3
I thought it was arsenic.
HCN smells like ~~burnt~~ almonds. Not sure about the taste.
Edit: bitter, not burnt.
