General Noise.

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:

Yeah, Prime!!! You should know this because the second most is your favorite food!!! And the first is your favorite drink!!! So go ahead and spoil it for everyone...:tongue:

Edit: Oh, his favorite drink? :o what is it, Prime administrator?

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

But food????
Steak?

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.

.... 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.
