This is the general discussion thread for the Lounge.

This thread is for shooting the breeze/general chat without a specific topic.

Can anyone guess (without using google-fu) what the most recognized smell in the world is? Or the second most?

I know neither the most recognized or the second most recognized.

Lemons? Oranges? Sweat? xD

I have to admit I never thought about the most familiar or recognized smell to a person.

Sweat?!! Gross!!

The second most recognized smell is a type of food.

Recognized smell???
I bet I'm supposed to know this already, but for the life of me I don't remember.

Is fart-gas one of them...cause I mean, that's easy to recognize. :biggrin:

That would be the stuff running through my veins...coffeee!!! (starbucks to be exact).

But food????

Bingo!! The most recognized smell is coffee.
The second most: think sweet or sometimes bitter, Prime... (duh!!) Steak by itself doesn't smell!

Bitter???

Uh...hmm.
I'll let Rai or azul120 have a whack at this.
I honestly don't remember.

I do however have a riddle.

This is my riddle:

What does one man build but never use.
The man who buys it doesn't use it either, and
the man who does use it doesn't know he's using it.

Bitter? I don't have that much taste in bitter beyond simple black coffee.

The man who buys it doesn't use it either, and
the man who does use it doesn't know he's using it.

.... I have no clue, whatsoever. Sorry about that but I'm no good at riddles. Dx

The second most recognized smell is Chocolate.

I know the answer, so I can't say anything, but here is a hint:
Until modern times, the item was usually built out of pine wood.

Chinese "Call of Duty" game pits players (as Chinese soldiers) against US troops.
I don't think it would matter much if it weren't being used to train PLA soldiers.
