Cat Pee

[Gammon]

I don't get it.

I am very familiar with the smell of cat pee, but never once did I ever sense any hint of this in the VEG.

Even the day before I was chosen when I couldn't handle the smell of it, it never once smelled anything like cat pee.

I don't smell it either. I think it's suggestive thinking that dooms people from the start. Oh well, more for us huh?

And you're welcome to as much of it as you want.

I didn't really think cat pee when I tried it (although I've never owned a cat nor been around cats much), but I did think it was vile stuff.
I thought "janitor's cleaning supplies", and unless cat pee is great at getting stains from cheap hard-wearing carpet, I can't associate the two.

While the power of suggestion may have influenced my senses, from the first whiff of Vegetal, I thought it reeked of urine. I returned it.

I'm certainly not saying some of you don't indeed smell cat pee or urinal cake, but this stuff has been around since 1880. If everyone smelled cat pee or whatever, it wouldn't sell. I just think that the power of suggestion happens, maybe not in every case.

I suggest that you were chosen that very day, as you didn't get the cat pee smell.

Honestly, I don't get what people mean by a bad smell. I suppose those that like it cannot understand those that don't and vice versa.
No different than my distaste for Osage Rub, Bay Rum, Cuba by Czech & Speake, or Hammam Bouquet. To each their own.
But I certainly don't try to make fun of people and the fragrances they wear that I don't care for.

The Veg appears to be pretty polarizing, because with most scents that people don't care for, that's it. They don't care for it.
The guys who are not chosen, or have an olfactory disorder are keen to slay the Veg at every opportunity.
I'm sure that some of it has to do with the traditional game here at B&B of playing the blessed "chosen" against the great unwashed "unchosen", but there really seems to be something deeper than that in those who don't like the Veg.

No power of suggestion. I got the smell of urine from it. Not necessarily cat pee, but a strong urine smell and I never knew about this before smelling it. All I knew was that Veg was a Pinaud scent. Nothing about what it smelled like. I had seen posts of people saying they shaved and put on some Veg. Never anything about the scent.

 

[Gammon]

I can fully understand someone not liking the smell. What I cannot understand is the cat pee part of it. Unless it naturally has a cat pee smell that is masked by some other ingredient that only some of us can smell..?

I love Rockin The Veg and often also use it as a Body Splash!

We have these badges here for Contributor, Veteran, etc. If we just had one that said "VEG rocker" we could just leave a blank post in every thread and what you said would be conveyed automatically.

I've tried making a thread for badges. ( looks like something might be in the works there )
I've asked for my username to be VEG green. I don't think it was possible.
I was sort of responsible for luvmysuper's title changing color as a result of my username request. So that was a plus.

Someday I hope there's a way to rock the VEG, other than putting it in my signature.

Excellent analysis, Herr Doktor! The unwashed who don't like The Veg are clearly suffering from a deep-seated pathology.

I jest, of course. (But what did Freud say about jesting?) I would actually love to know what ingredient in The Veg is capable of provoking such rhetorical excess on both sides. I assume, however, that the formula is a closely-guarded secret.
