  I dunno if it’s some kind of addictive, but AFAIK it universally smells like stinky bugs, just weaker.

  I got a syringe of same looking red grease for installing a bicycle bottom bracket, (might have been for a fancy front fork?)
  and it smelled vaguely sweet… like almost fructosey enough to make you imagine it was raspberry flavored.

    Might have been some other compound, cause straight bearing grease for cars/trucks/heavy equipment/etc doesn’t smell pleasant at all.

      It’s an acquired taste

    Try smelling used diff or transmission oil…

      Diff oil is the worst, especially if it’s been heated in a catastrophuck.

        Diff oil that’s been burned and over due for a change is probably one of the most vile things on the planet. Even rotting carcasses don’t match it.

  different strokes and all that. I’ve never thought that.

  then again I worked in a factory that used shortening as a mould release for years. that shit stinks and gets scummy after a few months. Imagine what it smells like after a few decades.

    That sounds horrible, I guess it’s more healthy than bearing grease though.

      you’d think that, but you’d be wrong.

      ever hear of popcorn lung? yeah, working there, all the old timers had it. I had only worked there for about 5 years but the smell got into everything.

        How’d they get popcorn lung from that? Did it aerosolize from the us?

        BTW those people who got popcorn lung which ended up coining the term, all were heavy heavy smokers. So yes it’s dangerous but it’s one of those…well it probably didn’t help that they smoked like freight trains.
