What Did 1979 Smell Like?

Loved playing Space Invaders in the arcades back then, other than that totally agree with you.

Unleaded gasoline and hot catalytic converter.

There were a lot more smelly exhaust fumes then- cars were louder and exhaust generally smelled more when running than they do now.

Although smog is thicker generally now, it smells different: less like gasoline.

You smelled cigarette smoke a Lot more often than now. It was normal to enter a room or house and smell stale cigarette smoke.

Not so much any more.

Picture a puff of marijuana smoke crossed with a whiff of Shell oil crossed with cotton candy and buttered popcorn being consumed and hubba Bubba original bubblegum smell if you smell hard enough..

you could smell the trees when you flew into Seattle Airport

Yup

Oh I forget all behind a strong tobacco smell crossed with a distinct men's Cologne crossed with everyday human body odour

And not forgetting juicy smell of hairy pussy all over the place

What the fuck type of gayass thread is this...only thing gayer than this gayass thread is the gayass person that created it.

Patchouli

Colombian Gold, Panama Redbud

A lot better than it does now...

I lived in Seattle in the 70s. Now it's mostly a liberal shithole.

This^ - the smell of gasoline engines starting up with no emissions control systems.

A potent, pungent bouquet mix of Jiffy Pop, The Village People, and Brut, by Faberge.

it smelled like fake leather and motor oil

Yea...acid for $1 and a bag was $35 an oz for Columbo

Angel dust $30 a gram

It smelt better too

says the little baby in the smelly poo poo diapers who wasnt even born until 2006

101 low lead and burning rubber .
