*sniffs*
I'm looking after my mate's cats at the moment, and I've found that their sachets of Felix smell quite tasty, even to the point of considering spreading it on toast.

What else smells good but probably doesn't taste good?

Soap powder
Smells lovely and crisp and fresh and powdery. Like a grown-up sherbet. Tastes like soap. I should know.

Benzene
smells really sweet, which is why it and similar chemical substances are labelled 'aromatic' compounds. I don't know what it tastes like, but I'd imagine it's pretty awful. It's also very carcinogenic, so I'm not going to be trying it!

when I was wee..
my mum used to buy shampoo and conditioner that smelled like bubblegum.

It didn't taste like it. :(

Candles
Some Yankee Candles smell really scrummy but they all taste waxy...probably.

i love
the smell of ground coffee when a fresh tin is opened, but don't like the taste

yeah but that's cos you're a little strange :P
Coffee is ace. I will stand by this. I will convert you to it!

Coffee any day.

No. I will convert him.
Or at least I'll have coffee every morning so the house smells of coffee. And he'll be all tempted and going "oooooo smells lovely, can I have some?" and I'll be all "but you don't even like coffee!".

But then I'll have and let him have some. Coffee I mean.

I love the smell of petrol
For some reason...

Certainly doesn't taste good.

Petrol
has quite a bit of benzene in it. See my post further up the page!

Ahh
Well curse my lack of knowledge.

Coffee never tastes as good as it smells.
And other people's toast always smells nicer than your own.

Paper
Specifically, some of the silks that we use at work. They even taste sort of nice to lick - all the chemicals coming off on your tongue in that first lick. But to chew... it's like eating Thatcher's kickers after she's used extra starch.

you've had experience of licking Thatcher's knickers after she's used extra starch now then have you?
:P

I couldn't possibly comment....
Certainly, my own silky underwear would not be as stiff.

and those two knicker combinations have, in effect,
nullified my appetite.

Why is it
that your own farts smell quite OK - satisfying, in a way - but you're always repulsed by anyone else's?

Don't know what farts taste like and I've no intention of finding out either!
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 15 Jun 2009, 8:53, Reply)

Like cottage pie

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 15 Jun 2009, 9:00, Reply)

That's why they (whoever 'they' are) say
that farts and success - your own are the only ones you really like.

Soap
Although bath ballistics from lush taste a bit like sherbet. The blackberry one they used to do was awesome.

Don't they both have bicarbonate of soda in them?

Even gayer than the military's proposed gay bombs?

Chips
Walking past a chippie I always have a nostalgia-tinged nostril flashback and am convinced I really want a nice portion of luvverly chips.

About once in every ten times this happens I cave in and buy some, and am without fail crestfalled within seconds as I realise that, yet again, I have been duped into buying a large bag of potatoes.
