Is it just me, or does burnt popcorn smell somewhat like skunk spray (but not as strong)?

I don't think I'll burn some to find out. Also, I don't recall ever having smelled burnt popcorn, so I can't comment on the similarity.

Why is it you haven't smelt burnt popcorn, but are familiar with skunk spray?

1: Who isn't familiar with skunk spray? It doesn't take much, y'know.

2: Some people are better at cooking popcorn than others. My cousin there is one of them.

I don't believe I've ever smelt skunk.

I'm not sure if you're lying or if that's because you've never been near anything resembling wildlife.

I live in Oklahoma. I found an opossum on my front porch this week.

My point exactly.

An opossum doesn't count.

How does it not oount as "wildlife"?

It is, but it's not a skunk. Way different.

Ever run over one? That smell sticks around forever.

I try not to hit small animals with my car. It messes up the suspension.
