/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Oh lordy

I work in one of these places and I'm so used to the smell I don't even notice it anymore.

Bake some bread, then immediately take a shit. Inhale

Rub a couple dirty socks over your face while doing that to simulate the smell of the hipsters and foodies walking around.

apply price tags that are 50% or higher than the price you'd expect to everything in your house

omg

Rub your finger along the inner crease of your thigh and sack. Smell. Rinse, repeat.

Why is everyone here is a snarky, unhelpful prick?

Do you mean /ck/ or the people at Whole Foods?

Whole Foods might just use a chemical. Even small stores do that sometimes. Mercedes does it for their leather smell. It's not that easy to ensure that everything smells the same in every store.

>Ever walked into a fast-food restaurant with the intention of ordering the virtuous, artery-friendly
iceberg-lettuce salad, but ended up going for the triple-bacon cheeseburger with a side of large fries
instead? It was that smell that got you, right? Fresh, juicy, charcoal-y, that seductive aroma seemed to
suffuse every pore in your body. You were powerless to resist it.

>But that smell you’re inhaling comes not from a hot, smoking grill but from a spray canister with a name
like RTX9338PJS—code name for the “just-cooked-bacon-cheeseburger-like-fragrance” that the
fast-food restaurant was pumping through its vents. Mmm—makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Speaking of food, do you know why most modern supermarkets now have bakeries so close to the store
entrance? Not only does the fragrance of just-baked bread signal freshness and evoke powerful feelings of
comfort and domesticity, but store managers know that when the aroma of baking bread or doughnuts
assails your nose, you’ll get hungry—to the point where you just may discard your shopping list and start
picking up food you hadn’t planned on buying. Install a bakery, and sales of bread, butter, and jam are
almost guaranteed to increase. In fact, the whiff of baking bread has proven a profitable exercise in
increasing sales across many product lines. Some Northern European supermarkets don’t even bother with
actual bakeries; they just pump artificial fresh-baked-bread smell straight into the store aisles from ceiling
vents.

charcoal-y?
Supermarkets are set up to guide you to products.
10/10. I didn't laugh, I didn't rage. It's about the effort that went into the reply. Good job. 10/10.

It's not bullshit, it's common in high end stores and even some restaurants have a signature scent though when it's overdone it has the opposite effect.

>>5041556
I suspected as much.

Is there a chemist here who could pinpoint Whole Foods' characteristic odor? It has to be available in canned form somewhere.

Farting in a spacesuit.
