[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 246396, member: 2318"] I agree with the "power of suggestion" hypothesis. The sense of smell is highly subjective and lacks any objective way to test whether two (or more) people are "receiving the same signal." If you've ever been to a wine tasting, it's common for a group leader to say something like, "Does anyone else detect that note of raspberry?" Maybe no one mentioned it before, but soon many will have announced that they found the raspberry. I suspect as soon as something is labeled, others will be influenced to find it or something similar to apply the label to. I used to think that the tomato smell was a marketing dirty trick started on message boards by anti-McCs. Still do. [/QUOTE]
