Sunshine, You are so welcome. I was sort of in hopes that the word ‘party’ might lure a few nekkid men out of the woodwork, but…something tells me that this isn’t the place… struuter ---

Why do I torture myself like this? My eyes are literally watering as I type this, after reading this thread. I have an anti-foot fetish - I despise them. I hate the sight of them. I hate hearing about them. I especially hate imagining what they smell like. (Go figure, I love being barefoot. I guess my own feet don’t bother me, and no, they don’t ever smell.) The women that work at the cafe where I get chicken tortilla soup are always trying to get me to buy Fritos to put in the soup. I explained long ago that corn chips smell like nasty, dirty feet. They think I’m crazy. I think I’m going to print this thread out to vindicate myself. ---

I thought **I** was the only one who thought stinky feet smelled like cornchips! It’s so good to have a support group I can turn to when I get funny looks!! (about referring to feet as cornchips, not when I just generally get funny looks! :)) ---

What **Whammo** has failed to point out is that he lives down in the Corn Chip District, and is employed as a professional Corn Chip Moosher. Every morning he punches the time clock, removes his shoes, rolls up his trousers, and joins dozens of other men and women dressed in colorful peasant garb as they stomp 'round in circles through huge vats of corn, salt, and “Nacho Cheez” flavorings. He just posted the OP during his morning break. ---

Whammo, What are you doing sticking your feet in your face? Now all you need is for your armpits to smell like chili and your hair to smell like beer and you have the aroma of football Sundays! ---

I continually smell my feet while typing on my PC or watching TV. Why? Obviously because my feet have a very pleasant odor. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. Nice smelling feet, not everyone can boast of such a privilege. Anyhow, I can’t point out exactly what they smell like. It is definitely not cornchips. That I am sure about. ::smelling feet yet one more time:: Actually, they smell like pizza. Funny thing is they somehow seem to smell differently tonight. The right one smells like a fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza, as it should. But the left one. Sniff, sniff…it smells like…no, it can not be…cockroach? What the hell? Damn it, I just stepped on a damn roach. Shit! Now I gotta go wash up. Oh well… ---

You don’t WANNA know what MY feet smell like! My cats have Feeto, though! Ever notice that farts sometimes smell like brocoli or salsa? ---

Both my dogs’ feet smell like cornchips. I wouldn’t call them stinky, though. Just cornchip-smelling. I’ve smelled much worse in the way of feet. We had previously been calling this phenomenon “Frito-Feet” but I like “Feetos” better. Thanks! ---

There once was a bass player in our band whose feet were rank even coming out of a shower. He also was the only (thank God!) person I ever knew who could light farts. Impressive. ---

I am so familiar with the smell you describe. As I used to say in college: When your towel starts to smell like Fritos, it’s time to put it in the laundry. ---

My cat’s feet don’t smeel like Fritos, but rather like Cat Litter. But then consider, what are they doing in the litter. Could that in some way connect to the Flatulation being discussed above. Is there a direct link between the biological processing of food stuff and stinky feet? I never smell my dog’s feet. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by boli \* > \*\*… I have an anti-foot fetish - I despise them … \*\* Okay, so I’m confused. Does this mean what you say, or does this actually mean that you have a fetish for something that is _the opposite of the foot!_ Could this be a _head_ fetish? In which case, welcome to being a guy… 😃 ---

I think we are missing the big picture here. It isn’t why do my feet smell like Fritos or why do Fritos smell like feet. It should be, “What is the smell of Fritos?” Once that question is answered all can be answered. ---

Three days after his bath, my girlfriend’s Schnauzer smells like a corn chip. Not just his paws but his fur too. His name’s Shelley but we call him cornchip, as in: “C’mon my little cornchip, yeeeeee!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-feet-are-kinda-smelling-like-cornchips/26993.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-feet-are-kinda-smelling-like-cornchips/26993.md?page=3)
