Todd Reveals His Five Favorite Smells [PICTURES]

My wife always packs my lunch for me. I know it seems old-fashioned, but if I packed it myself I would end up with Pop Tarts, Doritos, and Slim Jims. Honestly, she does it for my health. This morning she packed fresh strawberries and I love that smell. It just makes me happy. It got me to thinking about my favorite smell and a couple of them just don't make sense.

Dirt

I love the smell of freshly turned soil. It doesn't matter if it is in the garden or a newly plowed field, I can't get enough of it. It is one of the things I loved about living on a farm when I was a kid. The ironic thing is I never really liked to get my hands dirty. It's one of the reasons I ended up in radio. I didn't want to have to work as hard as my Dad did on the farm all of his life, but I did like the smell of the dirt.

Coffee

I don't even like coffee. I rarely drink it. I guess I never acquired the taste. However, I love the smell. I really do. I will go to a coffee shop for a hot chocolate or a pastry just because I enjoy the smell so much. For some reason, it is a very comforting smell. Maybe it reminds me of Grandma's house.

Fresh Strawberries

This is what started the whole thing for me this morning when my wife put fresh strawberries in my lunch. Please don't think I am a weirdo, but I just kept sniffing them. They smelled so good. Strawberries make me happy. There is probably something to that, but I don't know what it is.

Fresh Baked...Cookie, Brownies, Bread

This one is wide open. I loved the smell of just about anything that baked in the oven. I love cookies. I love cake. I love pie. I love brownies. I love fresh baked bread and I love the smell of all of them when they are cooking in the oven. My entire top 5 could have been baked goods.

 Bacon

And now for the biggest no-brainer of all. I don't know when my love affair with bacon started, but I think I have have been in love all of my life. The smell of bacon cooking is Heavenly. I would kind of like to think that Heaven smells a little like bacon. It has to be about the best smell in in the World.

Honorable mention

Flowers are nice too.
