Smelling Amniotic Fluid (1995)
In a 1995 study led by Julie Mennella of the Monell Chemical Senses Center, a panel of adults was presented with two clear substances to smell. The substances were presented to them in plastic squeeze bottles, at room temperature. The panelists were asked to state which of the substances smelled more strongly of garlic. What the panelists didn't know is that the substances they were sniffing was amniotic fluid.
