Author: I hate onions: the smell, the texture, the flavor. I find the very idea of them being consumed as food offensive. I find everything about them offensive.
For instance, did you know that the chemical responsible for the wretched odor that onions give off is the same chemical as found in the defensive spray that skunks secrete?
That’s right: Thiol. It’s in skunk spray and it’s in onions.
Just think about that next time you bite into an onion. This message brought to you by the Anti-Onion Council.

Well, I find myself in opposition….somewhat. I like the taste of onions but I know the smell is offensive to others. So…I will continue to get onions on my Jumbo Jack.

I’m not completely offended by the smell of skunks. It’s kind of like gasoline – sometimes it smells kind of intoxicating.
OK Jonny, I’m not offended about a skunk being intoxicated.
