Furthermore, research has proven that smell has the power to affect an individual’s mood, emotions and even memory, so make a point of surrounding yourself with great smells and you will increase your chances of having a happier life without forgetting any great experiences. The sense of smell is one of the basic senses that a human being without any physical or mental challenges should enjoy comfortably, because it is effortless, and can get very exciting.
However, we cannot help but come across some awful smells in our everyday activities, smells that cause us to frown, become angry all of a sudden, and want to head in the opposite direction of where the smell is coming from.
A good example is Liquid Ass, a prank spray that is just one of the most disgusting smells in the world today. This super-concentrated liquid that evaporates in the open to fill the air with a foul but-crack stench with hints of fresh poo and dead animal is the worst prank you can play on anyone.
Here are some smells that are famous the world over for being the worst. Are there smells you think deserve to be included in this list?
10. The Hoatzin
The Hoatzin is a bird, and for it to be on this list, it has to be one of the worst smelling birds on the planet. A very common name for the hoatzin is the stinkbird, a name that it has rightfully earned owing to the strong undesirable stench that the bird gives off.
Although it is very common for animals in the wild to give off undesirable odours, some of them doing so as a defense mechanism, the stinkbird gives off a remarkably awful smell because of how it digests its food. This bird digests its food with the help of foregut fermentation, where bacteria breaks down the food it has eaten in its fermentation chamber, a process very common in ruminants such as cows.
Therefore, this bird basically smells like a herd of cows. The hoatzin smells so bad that despite its good taste and its awkward flying abilities; only desperately hungry people hunt it down for food.
