WHY LSU FANS SMELL LIKE CORNDOGS

The corn dog smell is the smell of cheap rancid cooking oil that is too old, too hot and has too much burned batter in it and needs changing. You know the stuff they cook french fries and onion rings in. You can usually smell it at the county fair when passing food concessions.

If you're using it to cook at a tail-gate, the smoke and grease permeate your skin, hair, and clothes. If you eat enuff of the stuff deep fat fried in it, and it's a hot day, it exudes out of your pores with the sweat, as well as being on your breath.

I learned about this when working at a factory that was just a block away from the "Bell Cafe". If you ate lunch there, and came back to work, people would say "Oh, you went to the Bell" because you had the "Bell Smell". They cooked with rancid grease and their ventilation was almost non-existent, so you absorbed the odors into your clothes and stunk the place up all day.

So the corn dog odor, which is real, is just the odor of rancid deep fat frying grease on the Cajuns clothes and in their sweat. This is the actual truth.
