I cannot get enough of the smell of bleach. I wash my whites even when they don't need it just to smell them when they come out of the washer, and i find myself daydreaming about scrubbing the floors during the day just to smell the bleach and cleansers. I've never had the urge to ingest it, but I think about sniffing it often

The thought of eating anything barbecue or smoked, or any kind of lunch meat just turns my stomach. But i can eat mexican food anytime!

Haha I find it pretty funny about the smells and stuff because I love the smell of gasoline and every time I go to fill up the car I have to smell the nozzle. I thought I was just weird but I guess it's normal. I like other strange smells too, but gasoline in particular.

I am 34 weeks and throughout the pregnancy I have craved different things. All along it has been pretty normal, potatoes, sweets, and such, but just recenty I can't seem to get enough of any type of chemical cleaner smell. Pine Sol and bleach are my favorites. I thought I was strange untill I read how many people are in the same boat on here.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant, and I've been having the urge to smell toilet bowl deodorizer. They say it is called pika.
