I thought it was the cologne they spray at the store, but even clothes I have delivered from a distribution center also have a smell that is very discernibly NOT Tide detergent.

How?? What are they washing these clothes with to make them smell like that??

      Not crazy, just conditioned. Buying new clothes is exciting (after you turn 15) and the smell is part of the memory.

        15? I’m 18 and I still dread it. Even if I get something nice, was is rly worth it? It’s a necessity, how can someone enjoy something that they must do? (like eating: super overrated)

          People who enjoy eating enjoy tasting or enjoy the feeling of things going down their throat. Can be psychological too and not attached to the physical stimulus.

          Do you guys not like sugar or the sting of spice? The whole ritual around eating, making food or heading somewhere to eat influences how good food makes you feel.

            people eat with their nose, eyes and mouth. the smells of the restaurant and other people’s foods are the first thing that triggers the experience.

            then seeing the other food guides with through the experience.

            then your tastebuds finalize the experience… unless you’ve had spicy foods, in which case there’s 1 more sensation but that’s a story for another day.
