Rhone1998 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 As for Subway, I can identify the restaurants by smell alone from almost a block away, 100% of the time. There's no other smell on this earth quite like it (although I think it's the bread baking, not the pizza). Does anyone else know what I'm taking about here? I have a keen sense of smell, but it's not *that* sensitive. With no evidence to back it up, I've always believed it's an artificial smell meant to evoke bread baking, not actual bread baking. Something "cooked up" (ha ha) in a lab somewhere off the New Jersey Turnpike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirite Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well I am! Picture how disgusting and greasy the video game control sticks are. And how slippery the bathroom doorknobs are because of all the grease on them. Now, think where all that grease comes from. Eeeeww-whee!

DonRocks Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I like Potbelly too. Changing the subject from Potbelly, is anyone besides me able to detect when a Subway is one block away? Whenever I smell a yeast infection (not yeast; a yeast *infection*), I know there's a Subway nearby. I find its odor to be both overwhelming and disgusting.
