According to a survey by Halfords, a UK-based out
accessories/auto parts retailer, people really hate the smell of wet dog in
their cars.
That particularly pungent odor topped the list of the reasons
people buy air fresheners for their cars, beating out other noxious scents such
as dried spilt milk and children's vomit. The entire top ten list includes (in
order):
1. Wet dog
2. Dried spilt milk
3. Child's sick
4. Teenage body odor
5. Festering fast food
6. Forgotten fruit
7. Sweaty feet
8. Cigarette/cigar smoke
9. Dirty diaper
10. Animal mess on shoes
The thought of having any of these odors in a small enclosed
space like an automobile is enough to get us thinking about stocking up on air
fresheners just in case. What do you think? Have you experienced any car odors
that belong on the list?
