I was thinking that the fart smell would flatten all other smells in the room like a nuclear blast.

Carrion is such a great word. I learned it from "Marian the Librarian".

Amazingly, lentils can be the stinkiest thing ever if you leave cooked ones in a pot for too many days and then de-lid them... uurrghhh, fermented death yuck.
Worst smells for me though are seriously sick homeless people. I hate feeling judgemental but when someone gets on a tram and the whole tram suddenly smells like BO+vomit+dogshit+doritos I just want to fling myself out of a window.

Haha yes.

Why do they even make dogshit flavour Doritos when they're so unpopular?

Well, the shit-eating dog market is substantial....

Rotten potato is one of the worst smells ever. And rotten onion.

I'm surprised more ppl haven't mentioned melons -- old melon is the pinnacle of sweet/rot.
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 5 December 2011 01:14 (twelve years ago) link
Oooh yes rotten (raw) potato, definitely a foul stench.
― Leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it. (Trayce), Monday, 5 December 2011 01:51 (twelve years ago) link
The worst. Also if you leave gereberas in a vase too long = rotten potato stench
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 5 December 2011 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
or however you spell that flower lol
Oh man, rotting flower water is vile. It smells like a big vase of diarrhea.
When I worked at a grocery store I accidentally stuck my hand into a rotten potato. The smell would not wash off, not even with bleach or baking soda.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 03:53 (twelve years ago) link
in one of my rental houses we had a phantom stench in the kitchen...one day I lost it & went through every cupboard & corner praying it wasnt a decaying mouse. In a random empty cupboard I found a bag of completely rotted, deflated potatoes. I can still dmell them. *shudder*

smell
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 5 December 2011 04:32 (twelve years ago) link
We had a phantom smell in our last apartment. It turned out to be a gallon can of soy sauce that was totally fine (or at least we used it and didn't die) until one day it made our apartment smell like something crawled into a vent and died.

Before we figured out what it was, we called Jesse AND building maintenance. Phantom kitchen stenches send me into this panicked fight-or-flight state in which I monomaniacally tear the kitchen apart until I find the thing that smells.

WHOA SORRY GIANT CAN OF SOY SAUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Smelled up my kitchen, now it's smelling up this thread.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 04:45 (twelve years ago) link
see that is why it's not worth it to buy in bulk
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 5 December 2011 04:52 (twelve years ago) link
I had no idea you could buy bulk metal cans of soy sauce! Yows.
― Leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it. (Trayce), Monday, 5 December 2011 05:50 (twelve years ago) link
I buy those big jugs of soy sauce. They last about me about 2 months. I love soy sauce.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 07:41 (twelve years ago) link
Yes. So we learned.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 13:09 (twelve years ago) link
Did you not refrigerate it? I've had soy sauce that was still good after a few years that I only threw out because the bottle got too messed up.
― rusty flathead screwdriver, Monday, 5 December 2011 13:19 (twelve years ago) link
No. You don't really have to refrigerate soy sauce and the giant can of it didn't fit in the fridge anyway. But I mean, you don't really have to refrigerate soy sauce if you're going to use it pretty quickly. I'm thinking we had this can for more than a year.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 13:36 (twelve years ago) link
You would think all that salt would preserve it for years.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
Huh, it never occurred to me that soy could go bad. Seemed like, I dunno, vegemite...like a "forever" condiment, lol.
EVERYTHING I KNOW IS WRONG *cries*
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 5 December 2011 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
I refrigerate my soy sauce, including the big jugs. That's what the crisper drawer is for - refrigerating bulk products.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:24 (twelve years ago) link
I thought that was for beer.
― William (C), Monday, 5 December 2011 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
The second, smaller fridge is for beer!
― OH NOES, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
crisper is for beer and applesno one needs that much soy sauce in their fridge at any given time unless that fridge is inside of a restaurant
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 5 December 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
Wrong. I need that much soy sauce.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
Also: a gallon of sweet chili sauce.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
what is that horrible smell
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 5 December 2011 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
Also: multiple bottles of Srirachia.
And tubs of pre-peeled garlic (which I freeze).
God bless the Asian market where I buy those bulk items, and of course God bless pre-peeled garlic.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:41 (twelve years ago) link
you must make the most interesting ice creams

You keep multiple bottles of Sriracha in the fridge?
