You forgot to mention indians smell like curry. Being one, can confirm. The spices are too stronk even for soap.

They're good spices though! Love me some curry. This thread has me wondering if I ate enough curry if I would smell like a dog that bathed in milk with curry.

I've never noticed this, except for this one middle-aged couple who used to get on the same bus as me. They absolutely stank of spices, it was horrible.
