Why do old people smell of cabbage?

[Haemorrhoid Graboid]

Is it because their soul is trying to leave their body before they die?

Wait a minute. There's something unusual about the subway seat you just claimed. It's awfully warm, and a peculiar odor seems to hover in the air nearby—a stale, musty odor tinged with something as acrid as mothballs. You know this aroma: it's "old person smell."

the unique scent of the elderly lingers wherever they live and in any confined spaces they have recently occupied, such as taxis and elevators. Many different cultures have recognized the phenomenon—the Japanese even have a word for it, kareishuu

Your stereotype of old people smell is itself quite outdated. Its now rutabegas, not cabbage. Also there was something about my lawn...

My grandmother smelled nothing of cabbage, but she did use lots of perfume.

Some people sniff glue, others old people. Keep with the trends, man.

Just think one day you all will be old also and the younger people will make fun of you then.

I find freshly cleaned old person smell of veg, could be seen as cabbage. Because old people eat proper food homemade.

But on buses for some reason, old people smell of urine.
