In light of some recent posts by MB users to go un-named, the question was put forward, if you could make scratch and sniff hot stamps what would they smell like. It was pointed out that an Orc might not be your go to disc any more.
Given the much maligned MRV, I thought I would start there. Its scratch and sniff hotstamp could have a number of smells: failure, Greatsky's tube socks, or perhaps it would simply be the Most Reeking Vulture.
What would your most favorite, or least favorite disc smell like? Please no body functions necessary.

I am definetely an olfactory dominated person and I have honestly always been interested in how discs smell. A few worth mention...
When Z plastic was relatively new I ordered a disc dyed using some "brainwave" process. It was pretty lame, but I think this was before J-bird had a corner on the market and it seemed pretty cool at the time. Anyway the disc smelled like gummy bears. Sweet and fruity. I couldn't help but taste it once or twice, but it was just an odor. I wonder what the dye was made of.
The early batches of Innova's pro plastic all had a characteristic burnt rubber scent that I have never smelled elsewhere. I haven't smelled an Innova pro disc in a while, but I don't think that they still smell as strong as those early ones did.

It's been a while since we got any, but the Little Flyers minis used to have a noticeable smell to them when the box showed up in the mail.

It was a fruity smell. I had a blue Little Flyer with a "Disc Golf Journal" hot stamp that kept that scent for a number of years.

Not a tribute Hero, just recognition of genius, or a darn funny idea, one way or the other.
The Viking - un-bathed sea-sweat... Urgghhh.
This is one reason why I use the Orion, smells like heat...

Questions,
What would a birdy smell like?
What would a Wildcat smell like?
Excalibur - hot steel
Destroyer - Iron, or 3,000 stinky sailors?

This idea breaks the thread rule of leaving out body parts. If we can't enjoy ourselves without reaching into the high school locker room, well, we're not doing very well. Of course, you might have been referring to a wet muddy smell mixed with fresh cut wood, in which case I'd have to say, the BUZZ is still funnier.
