How do these companies come to that conclusion? I think most people start to smell after only 24 or 48 hours max so how do these companies get 72 hours out of their testing?
Im assuming they’re fudging their numbers but at what point does it become false advertisement?
Asia
Native Americans often have the gene too.
actually, I’m in India right now and am shocked that so far it’s the least smelly country in terms of sewage and BO I’ve been to, tied with Japan so far.
I say so far because I’ve only been here for 2 weeks.
I’ve been all over Asia and there’s always a sewage smell somewhere, or a smelly river, or you can smell BO on people when you’re crowded together on a bus, but now I’m in India and there’s no sewage smell, and I’m here during a huge festival, literally one of tens of thousands of people crowded in these temples without smelling any BO, and I’m wondering if it’s a cultural habit that is dovetailing into their infrastructure and hygiene(kind of like how Chinese chefs traditionally cook everything at super high heats, even though the origin is tied into making sure the food is clean) and their sewage pipes are all very far removed or thickly covered and treated, or if the largely vegetarian diet plays into a much less offensive smell overall in terms of bodily function and by-products.
I’m willing to bet their diet plays a huge role in the smell factor, especially in their localities. It seems like anyone with a western, especially American, diet, has a propensity to smell less that fresh on lieu of daily hygiene.
makes sense.
I’ve switched between a lot of different diets, and anecdotally meat, alcohol, and sugar play a huge role in how bad i and my byproducts smell.
Just might be my first time reading that phrase
I had to think it up a little earlier since I was talking about this an hour before I saw this post or so with someone else and didn’t want to keep repeating less polite terms.
It’s upsetting in its own way though, isn’t it?
Alcohol was my big one, especially as I get older. Quality of meat makes a big difference too, I found there’s a huge contrast between fast food burgers and quality steak in terms of red meat.
i hear you, fast food meat doesn’t even taste like meat to me at this point, it’s so clearly the lowest common denominator of protein.
I’ve eaten rat, snake, crocodile, everything i can try, but the most recent time i can remember my stomach feeling rough after eating was the last time I ate McDonald’s years ago on a whim; I felt greasy, logy and nauseous almost immediately after eating it.
like I was poisoned or something.
Indeed. I haven’t had a McDonald’s burger in probably 15 years, last I had one was the same deal. I’ll eat Carl’s Jr in a pinch, but that’s about it, and even then I feel pretty crappy afterwards.
