Toast.
I think it smells terrible and immediately ruins my appetite whenever I smell it.
I am well aware that my mileage is varying on this one
Wow, 14 posts before the correct answer showed up. That’s some nasty funk.

The t-shirt worn for three straight days by a heavy smoker who doesn’t believe in deodorant that somehow ended up shut in car trunk for a week. Get back, honky cat!

Abercrombie & Fitch stores. What’s that stench that pours out of the door of one of those stores? We call them Abercrombie & Stench.
Smoker’s breath - especially from cigars
Boiling tar
A homeless guy who sleeps on the sidewalk in front of bus station next door. I really don’t think he has ever bathed in his life.
One dozen nite crawlers forgotten in a container and then found one week later {after having sat in the hot sun}. I guarantee the smell will clear the area for 100’ in all directions…

bagged wet grass cuttings that have been left in the garage all week

Oh my god, this. I would have listed potentially dozens of other smells of this thread had been created a few months ago. My dog got sprayed in the face at point blank range and ran into the house saturated and dripping with the oil. It was otherworldly. I mean, a totally different league than anything else I’ve ever experienced.
Rotten potatoes. Far worse than decomposing flesh.
Seriously, combine all the smells mentioned so far in this thread and all the smells yet to be mentioned, then multiply that by a factor of 1 million, and you have durian.
Didn’t read the whole thread.
One time I washed some clothes and when they were done and I opened the washer, the worst smell I’ve even come across in my whole life wafted out. I can’t even describe it–it was the kind of smell that makes your tongue curl up in your head.
After some investigation, I looked in the rubber gasket that lines the opening (front-loader) and there was a dead lizard in there. If you think rotting mammal flesh will make you gag, it’s nothing compared to rotting reptile flesh.
I guess he got in the laundry basket. I lived out in the country and routinely found scorpions, snakes, and whatnot in the house. Poor little guy, he didn’t have a chance.
Rotting vegetation of any sort, including vegetables.
Cooking spinach.
Cooking beets.
Wet Dog
Wet Dog Food
Wet Dog Food Puke
Warhammer Nerd
Wall Squid (Don’t ask)
Festival Port-a-Potty
Lactose-Intolerance Farts
Selenium or Telurium will make you really smell…
Burnt aluminum (boiling water kettle left on stove while you fall asleep, wake up from the stench…)
This is interesting. I was away from the house for several weeks and I thought I had buttoned everything up, but apparently a bag of potatoes escaped unnoticed.
I have to say that I didn’t think it smelled horribly bad, (like poop smells bad). However, it just seemed like it went straight to the vomit section of my brain. It was definitely not fun to get rid of.
For me, some things can smell really bad but not make you want to vomit, other things don’t smell as repulsive, but are insta-hurl.
