Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
HTDE: Crushes and Smells

And you see the image in your brain, right?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
HTDE: Crushes and Smells

It seems to be more something like this.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
HTDE: Crushes and Smells

No, it is not possible that a molecule hide in your nose and wait to arrive.

HTDE: Crushes and Smells

It indeed has to be because indeed, like if you had a permanent smell,

and something else happens and you cannot smell this other smell that is maybe very important for your survival, then you have to have the first smell disappearing so you can be sensitive to the second one.

HTDE: Crushes and Smells

And if the smell is not leaving and your system cannot process it, your brain will take over because the brain can basically also break the connections that make you smell something.

HTDE: Crushes and Smells

You have no idea what you're smelling.

HTDE: Crushes and Smells

Vanilla is always working as something that everyone likes.

HTDE: Crushes and Smells

It seems that there is study that shows also the maternal milk is also containing this molecule.

So maybe this is even something we learn to like very early on.
