The Fallacy of Memory Smells Sweet

The AH-B Theory of Sweetness
A coincidence
Or someone’s sick ploy?
I’m tired of waking up
From the smell of chloroform
Deep voices
And visions of hairy burly men
Sweet is malicious
Make it bitter
Make it sickening
Make it fucking match it’s purpose
Sick fucks

I did even know chloroform smelled and tasted sweet, I had to look it up.

Yeah, my anger is amplifying everything. I have to get a hold of it.

“Why organic halogen compounds (chloroform) taste or smell sweet- The taste of halogenated organic compounds mainly depends on the halogen atoms involved. Study showed that halogenation of aliphatic series imparted sweetness and halogenation of aromatic compounds increased/decreased the intensity of sweetness/bitteness. This increase/decrease of intensity is due to the efficacy of halogen atoms which is directly related to electron withdrawing power (Hammett σ value). This is called AH-B theory of sweetness.”
