They could come in different shapes i.e. petrol pumps, petrol cans, cars etc and for those who are on a diet there would be the light 'unleaded' variety. |

I like the smell of petrol but I wouldn't want to eat it. Most sweets taste chemical enough as it is. Actually, I suspect I may be eating petrol sweets as it is. |

The smell of gasoline fumes isn't altogether unpleasant unless you live where they add MTBE to the gasoline. Nasty smellin' stuff. |

I also love the smell of a good fresh pot of coffee brewing, but the taste of coffee gags me. I also enjoy the smell of a freshly opened pack of cigarettes, but wouldn't smoke or otherwise consume a cigarette if you paid me. Pleasing smell does not equal pleasing taste. |

half,
"Pleasing smell does not equal pleasing taste"
I appreciate what you are saying here as I agree with many of your examples - I too don't smoke but actually like the smell of passive smoke on a crisp autumn day - from a distance at least.
My sweets you see would have to taste like the smell - Not exactly sure how you capture this - but hey... isn't that what they pay scientists for!?
In fact this analogy reminds me of a TV programme I saw once about making a perfume that reminded people of Christmas - all based around making Chrisrtmas into a smell. We need to be thinking outside the box here - not the literal translation. I've tried petrol - accidentally of course, and sure it don't taste good! |

What [half] said re. taste. I too love the smell of brand new packs of cigarettes but can't bear smoking... Also, coffee first thing in the morning is a nono - although the smell is great. Give me a cup of tea and make some coffee near me and I'm fine! |

"What shall I get? Ah, petrolheads - diesel do nicely" |
