The air smells like meat. Where I work, the air it smells like cat food. Not just where I personally work, no, but the whole town. All the air smells like meat.

The town is small. I think it has a population around 7000 or something, and there is a Purina plant down the street from my place of employment. Every day, the whole world smells like meat to the people here.

Today it was particularly foul. I'm not sure if the cold autumn air pronounces the scent more than usual, or if they made extra stinky cat food this week, but usually by the end of the day, I'm so used to it that I don't notice it anymore. But today I smelled it in the hallways at work.

Rank.

I used to hold my breath in the drugstore when I walked down the cat food aisle because the smell for those 8 seconds made me want to vomit. For some people, this is what fresh air smells like.

Gag forever.

Cat food is possibly the most vile smell ever.

I'll start:

This weekend is Thanksgiving and I get to eat and not cook and hang out with my family and play family football/ultimate frisbee.
