My husband works in a mexican restuarant, so lucky me gets to smell it every.single.day when he gets home, it isn't a pleasant smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403359 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:16:27 +0000 PrincessBaby 403359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mintmercury: @Foodnerd81: My hair always smells like yeast when I come out of subway....It's just a gross yeasty smell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403351 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:11:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 403351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mintmercury: YES! Subway restaurants always smell like someone hasn't showered. I don't understand why, it's just bread and deli meats. </p> <p>I've noticed that sometimes with Mexican food. Onions are a big one, but I feel like the spices stick around too. Indian food does the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403343 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:05:21 +0000 mintmercury 403343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've never noticed this about mexican food, but i feel this exact way about subway. i have never understood the appeal because it smells like straight up BO to me in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403338 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:01:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 403338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Smell your hair when you get home too!

I know exactly what you mean - there's this fantastic Mexican place here, best margaritas ever, and my friends and I talk about having to wear our "Border Cafe clothes" because Border + dry clean only coats doesn't work out so well.. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403178 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:33:37 +0000 matador84 403178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the oil... Usually from tortillas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403176 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:32:20 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 403176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on what the restaurant is and what they ate. I've noticed it on other people before, but not everyone. And definitely not from every restaurant. If that makes sense LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403172 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:30:52 +0000 Mrsbells 403172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mexican food and the smell of it!

Gross! I avoid salsa unless its homemade without onions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403150 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:20:48 +0000 Dapple Grey 403150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually can't enjoy or eat Mexican because of whatever "spice" that is! Growing up we called it armpit food! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403144 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:18:04 +0000 PearlBee 403144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always thought it was the onions. Especially in things like fajitas. Even if you aren't eating fajitas, if someone around you is, you're toast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-mexican-food-make-you-smell-like-bo-mexican-food#post-403136 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:15:39 +0000 PrincessBaby 403136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am getting my hair did and sitting under the highlight-heater thing and the lady next to me, like 4 inches away, REEKS of "I had Mexican food for lunch. In a restaurant. And we stayed for a really long time.". You know that smell? Kind of like BO mixed with refried beans?</p> <p>What causes this? Does it gross you out? I'm thoroughly grossed out bc she keeps breathing my way! </p>
