why do cupboards often smell of curry?

why do dirty towels usually smell of digestive biscuits?

not earth shattering things, not election deciders but just stuff that we were discussing at work this morning. Over to you

Oh, and if anyone knows which brand of toothpaste is the lease 'too minty, Mummy!' then I would be grateful for that info too

I can't say my cupboards smell of curry .

I'm with you on the dirty towel smell though.

I remember using some toothpaste at my grandmother's house called Mentadent which had a strange non-minty flavour

Why does the air conditioning in my car smell of old socks for the first few minutes?

Why is it that as soon as the carpet is vacuumed the next wash out of the machine always contains a disintegrated tissue? oh that's not a smelly one....

I don't think my cupboards smell of curry either

My spice cupboard smells of curry and I like it

Why does improperly dried laundry smell of vomit?

My cupboards sometimmes smell of curry, but I don't know whay that is.

I'd also like to know why a shower curtain that needs a wash smells like fag ash (we don't smoke)

my microwave smells of curry, but that's because I nuked some left-over saag paneer in it on Sunday night..curry just kind of trumps other smells doesn't it

Aloe Dent strawberry toothpaste is the nicest kid toothpaste, and not minty. I've only ever seen it in healthfood shops.

Rotting mouse carcass under tumble drier smells like old socks too for a short time. Sorry if anyone is eating their lunch!
