Oh wow, interesting! The only thing is that these were all BRAND NEW underpants. I was putting them on the floor for the first time… strange things! I’ll have to look up fenugreek, anyway. Thanks!

There are certain herbs (fenugreek, in particular) that can make your crotch smell quite strongly of maple syrup.

Yes, it’s foul to think that someone was trying on those thongs got their, um, secretions on them enough that there was a smell. It could also have been in the air (check the wiki entry on fenugreek for an explanation of a maple smell that permeated NYC from a spice factory).

@amanda I didn’t even think about that until Winona twittered back at me about it… To me, the ones on your feet are flip-flops! I like the panty factory-located-next-to-the-Mrs-Butterworth’s-factory theory. I think I’m going to think about that one a lot.

@vanessa I know, right?! My mind has been filled with all sorts of illicit wonderings since…

I cannot FATHOM why underwear would smell like maple syrup. Maybe someone had tons of pancakes for breakfast and then went lingerie shopping? If that’s not the case, I’m guessing I don’t want to know.

When you twittered about the maple thongs, I was seriously hoping that you were referring to the shoe.

I can’t begin to contemplate how or why frilly undies smell like maple syrup. Are they scented on purpose? Was something accidentally spilled on them? Is the panty factory located next door to a Mrs Butterworth’s factory? I don’t think I want to know the answer.
