Heck, i notice that my, uh, scent, yeah, that's the ticket, scent 
changes with just about everything i eat. Coffee, Indian food, 
different vegetables, etc.

Being a Midwesterner, i grew up in a family that used very little 
garlic. When i lived in Southern France, everyone cooked with lots of 
garlic, so, frankly, no one seemed to notice the smell because, 
frankly, just about everyone smelled of garlic. It was normal.

One of the smells i find most offensive is Right Guard Deodorant - it 
makes me gasp. I'd rather smell fresh body odor.
