It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here mainly due to two major life changes: (1) we had a baby, and (2) we bought a house.

And in that time frame I’ve encountered many a topic to blog about here at NeverSmell…all relating to smells or not smelling (and with a newborn…you can imagine!). Today’s topic will hopefully begin a series of topics around how an anosmic discovers when something goes bad (since we can’t smell when something goes bad), a blog series inspired by cleaning out my fridge before moving to a new house.

And so…

You Know It’s Gone Bad When, No. 1: Juice

While cleaning out the fridge, (one of the final stages of packing and moving to a new place), I found in the way way back fallen behind the plastic crisper, a half a bottle of grape juice. And settled at the very bottom of the plastic container was something that looked like purple sand.

Say it with me now…yuk!

And so…an anosmic can tell when juice goes bad when it returns to its solid state.
