Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't? (sh.itjust.works)

I'll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.

The smell of diesel and 2stroke mix are nostalgic for me.

Also I love the smell of vinegar.

When I was a kid, my dad had a newspaper distribution business. We had a series of diesel box trucks. The new ultra low sulfur diesel doesn't do it for me, but the odd whiff of the old sour stuff takes me back to my childhood.

The last time I smelled it was many years ago. I don't really expect I'll ever get that hit again.

I feel like it will burn my nose hair when I smell vinegar 😭

[–] VogonFrost 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Me too! Only white vinegar though, that apple cider stuff gags me

[–] lennybird 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Agreed!

I take it you like salt & vinegar chips, too? I'm an addict lol

[–] VogonFrost 1 points 5 months ago

You bet! Also some Chinese food places use a lot of vinegar in their sauces. Makes me smile!
