Analysis: Does Grant Paulsen have the worst sense of smell?

Everybody has different tastes. 

As Dave Chappelle once said: "Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled."

Well on Wednesday, Grant Paulsen decided to talk about some of his Top 5 favorite smells and he had some weird suggestions: Gasoline and a puppy's breath.

What?

Huh?

What?

This conversation started with Paulsen making the correct assessment: freshly baked brownies are a fantastic smell to waft about the house. But then he went off the rails when it came to his Top 5 list: 5) gasoline, 4) new car 3) freshly cut grass 2) a puppy's breath 1) cookies/brownies/bacon (a three for one at the end.)

Dog breath at No. 2.

Seriously?

Does Paulsen know what good smells are? Can he differentiate between a fragrance and a stench?

Co-host Danny Rouhier, a normal person when it comes to smell, listed: burning wood in a bonfire (classic), cinnamon buns (yup), a cake being baked ("Are you making carbohydrates in the oven?" is a great way to describe good smells that aren't dog breath), coconuts (OK, bit out there, but still not a dog's mouth), fresh-brewed coffee (duh, a slam dunk smell), fresh pine (Christmas trees are great, there's a reason people keep dragging those big suckers into their house each year).

Rouhier throws out another fantastic aroma in vanilla extract and the questions about Paulsen's olfactory senses abound when he has no idea what that smells like. That's a potent fragrance that is just delightful. 

Doesn't know vanilla, but loves the odor coming out of a dog's mouth. Unreal.

"I always thought that was a super popular smell," Paulsen said. 

Just, please, don't say this article stinks.

(Yeah, that's an awful, 'joke' but it is better than dog breath.)
