Old people - why do they smell?

yeah but even baby bath and baby powder smells gross. ooh, congrats on your new baby dunc!! hehe

My theory is it stems from a lack of initiative and increased surface area due to wrinkles.

When you spend tweleve hours a night working with service users of advancing age in an EMI facility, you kind of get used to.....

Ive thought about this question time and time again.

I came upon the conclusion that the smell old people posses is an 'out-dated' smell to people of our age. Do old people know that other old people smell? Not that I have seen.

Old people rarely change their routine and rarely change products they have been using for years and years. A certain routine of when one washes etc and the products we use, create smells. Im suggesting that 'back in the day' everyone smelled like old people, because they used that certain type of soap, and had a certain routine. The previous old people to them smelled of old people because they too had a different routine and life.

As the generations of people grew, they grew to change their routine and change the products they use to clean themselves and their home. Thus the generation smell changed. I find old people who have strayed away from the traditional soaps etc have changed their routine also, like my own grand mother, who does not smell of old people.

Because of my findings, I also suggest that we will one day smell of old people. But the scent will not be the smell of old people we know today, it will be our very own 'old-people' smell. Fortunatley we will not be smelling of piss, but the younger generations will still find our smell just as bad, as their routine and lives will be different to our own.

hmmmm, old odddur.....

*sniff*

This smell reminds me of werther's originals. They complement the smell of piss very well.

hmmmm this thread is starting to get me hot..... oh yeh

Well at least there’s plenty of bitty to go round.

SMELLY BITTY

Even better!

Old people smell because....


they can't see anymore they need 1 sense to work

and overload the younger generations so it is as bed as their at their age?

That made NO sense!
Hold on.....

kill our sense of smell so it is bad when we get old and need our sense of smell to work so pee lots and over do it on the smelly granny spray? A vicious circle

I'm off home people So Bye all





Remember you are not a salmon

is this like happy slapping?... a group of people go around sniffing old people and taping it on their phone?

old people should smell like old paper does... its just logic!

lol, my favourite smelly old person is a lady who comes into our store. She gets thru about 2 cans of deep heat a week (YOU CAN SMELL IT) and tries to mask it with Lynx deodrant. So funny to imagine a lil old lady with Lynx. lol

whats deep heat?
