Nothing worse than smelly garlic breath

64 comments  Add a comment

Why do people eat garlic?  There's nothing worse than sitting next to a garlic eater, particularly if you can't stand the smell of the stuff.  It's one of those things that people eat and they just reek of it for days afterwards and they don't seem to even realise.  Can someone please tell me why people eat garlic though because I don't understand.  Is it because they...

  1. like smelling like a sewer?
  2. don't like people sitting next to them on public transport?
  3. use their breath to ward off evil spirits?
  4. use their breath as an early warning device when shopping?
  5. think it makes them smell nice?
  6. believe it is good for them?
  7. are antisocial?
  8. have bad breath or B.O.and garlic masks the smell.
  9. believe this is the new deodorant "the smell of garlic breath"
  10. think it will ward off vampires?

A bulb of garlic If someone said to you, "put this in your food and I guarantee that you will smell like a sewer for several days" would you do that?  Nobody in their right mind would do such a thing but for some unknown reason garlic eaters do!  Maybe they have read somewhere that garlic is "good for you" ie: some scientist somewhere fed rats on it for years and extended their lifespan by a few seconds.

O.K so it may improve the taste of certain foods, but then so does salt but that doesn't make you stink for days.  Do garlic eaters ever have a bath or shower, use deodorant or soap, etc?  I would assume that like most people they have a shower so that they don't smell, so why do they then go and eat garlic and stink?  Self imposed B.O. is what I call it!

All non garlic eaters should cease to wash, bathe, change their socks etc then we could inflict our smell on them and see how they like it.  It only takes one garlic eater to get on the bus for the whole vehicle to stink.  There is nothing worse than a garlic eater who sits behind me on the bus and spends the journey breathing down my neck, ughhhh!  I think anyone smelling of garlic should be refused any form of public transport.  I don't want you on my bus.  Don't eat garlic!!!

Try to standing next to a garlic eater with BO that smokes cigarettes and is obese, now there's a combination. The trial of stench from super smelly people.

No need to eat a load of garlic. Just don't wear any perfume. That'll do the trick.

You may not like the smell but it has definite health benefits, apart from being damn tasty. As for the French, if everyone eats it then no one is bothered by the smell on other people.

On public transport I am far more bothered by perfumes and after shave that could knock out a rhino than a bit of garlic.

"The French, apparently, have fewer heart attacks than we do"

That may well be, but then the population density of England is 411 per square kilometre and in France 112, if England was the same I think our heart attack rate would fall, too crowded!

Another reason may be that the French can't stand the smell of each other so don't mix so much us Englanders and do not have to put up with all the aggro that comes from being overcrowded.

Hmmm,..... thats a thought, I'll get a load of garlic down me tonight and see if it's easier to get a seat on the bus come Monday, watch them all recoil in horror at the smell.

The French, apparently, have fewer heart attacks than we do and they don't stint on the cream, butter or other animal fats in their diet. Perhaps its the garlic that protects them.

Either way, I love the stuff; the smell of a garlicky meal cooking gets my taste buds revving up.

Room for one more at your table GOW?

All this talk of garlic made my mouth water so I decided to cook kokinisto tonight. It's a Greek dish for chicken with garlic, cinnamon, parsley, onions & tomatoes. It's yummy!

Used a bus the other day, it reeked of garlic, made me want to vomit.

It only takes one **** who has eaten garlic to board the bus and everything stinks.
Garlic eaters should be banned from public transport.

Why do people eat it?
Nasty smelly stuff, when eaten, and they stink for days.

Evil stuff. The filthy French should keep it to themselves or at least brush their teeth once in a while.

Garlic is very healthy, prevents cancer, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol level, improves iron metabolism and production of protein. Additionally garlic shows anti-inflammatory as well as antibacterial and antiviral benefits.
