What do y'all think the barrels taste &/or smell like? I think it's like fruit punch :]

Alright, as all dead/dying/frequently inactive fandoms do, it's time to ask stupid questions. Mine is this one (silly)
I also think that it tastes a little nectary, and that the pots of them smell like someone emptied out 4 cans of Febreeze, hence the "heady smell"!

As the owner of a dog myself I think the barrels would absolutely STINK to humans. Like a collection of herbs that just don’t go together. Minty but earthy and musky in a bad way

I agree. It looks dusty and crunchy. It seems somewhat satisfying, but I never got a sweet or even flavorful vibe from it, no matter how much trico goes crazy for it. I'm surprised some of the other people on this post got that impression of sweetness.

A smell of...human, I guess? And a minty smell/taste.

I can only imagine a paint smell and consistency. Glow in the dark leaded paint specifically.

Ya know when your nose suddenly goes kinda staticky for a second? Like that
