    I tried to eat a bag of vinegar chips and spat them out as soon as the first chip hit my lips. They had a strong and foul ammonia like smell like nothing I ever encountered.

    I thought it was a bad batch or something and instructed the family not to eat the rest, but at dinner that evening, I had salad with vinegar dressing and it was the exact same thing! Just a vile stench.

    Apparently a rare side effect of covid is parosmia where certain common things suddenly smell terrible.

    • Mildly alarming that a virus can fuck with your brain in that way. All your other symptoms have subsided?bogue
    • DangGnash
    • Yeah sore throat subsided after two days, cough and fever after 1. Everything’s pretty much back to norbal except this._niko
    • Lab built virus. A bioweapon, if you will.

    • Wonder what else is ticking away at a cellular level. The fuse it lit.

    • Yeah alarming for sure. The other thing I noticed is caffein makes me nauseous and dizzy almost punch-drunk but I’m hoping it’s not a side effect_niko
    • @_niko that stinks! sorry, dude. Hopefully goes awayKrassy
    • Lol thanks krassy_niko
    • (couldn't help it. too good of a set up. ha!)Krassy
    • because vinegar is acidic and that will corrode the 5g chip inside youshapesalad
    • I got this after a bad flu once. Coca cola tastes like vile chemicals ever since. It must have killed off some sense organs of a certain "frequency band".monNom
    • was thinking the same thing, these vile chemicals are there but the pleasant ones mask them, covid reveals them for what they are like in "They Live" lol_niko
    • Oh that's a tough one. The good news is parosmia tends to be temporary. Not having salt and vinegar chips is a big loss.garbage
    • Imagine if getting covid made all junk food taste bad and you got super fit
      ********
    • oh man, you got covid and now you can't eat chips... and i thought it's all about protecting your grandma and grandpa?pr2
    • today I can't eat chips in 5-10-20 years who knows._niko
