Yesterday, I made a pot roast. It smelled delicious! Unfortunately, as I was taking it out of the Dutch oven to carve it, some of the juices splashed onto me. I saw the splat marks on my shirt, and quickly changed. The last thing I wanted to do was go into work, having spots on my clothes and smelling like a pot roast.
I ate my dinner and went to work. As I worked, I noticed that the roast smell was still quite strong. I wondered if it was just in my nose, or if it had splashed on more of my clothes and I just hadn't noticed it.
I made a quick trip to the restroom, and looked in the mirror. That's when I saw it. Beef juice in my hair! I hadn't seen it before because it was brown, just like my hair.
I groaned and stuck my head under the faucet. After it was rinsed it out, I returned to work.
At least it didn't smell like rotten meat! That would have been really bad. So, what do you think? Would "Pot Roast" be a good scent for shampoo? If so, maybe I should market it!
I would think that would attract dogs. Surprised yours didn't lick your head.
ReplyDeleteWe eat a lot of garlic in our food and have always joked we need to make a garlic flavored toothpaste. (Because nothing covers that smell!)
Schultz didn't seem to notice. Maybe he was napping, and didn't get a good sniff.
DeleteMight get some unwanted critters coming up to you with that scent haha
ReplyDeleteYes. I'd have to watch the coyotes.
DeleteNow you're making me wonder why food-scented shampoos are mostly limited to fruits. Why not pizza, peanut butter, and yes, pot roast?
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to know if those scents would attract unwanted critters, or make those around you hungry.
DeleteThat's kind of funny (I don't have enough hair to make anything stick but somethings in the beard...)
ReplyDeleteYou'd probably notice if something splashed into your beard.
DeleteNot a good shampoo smell, especially if you're hungry.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteI'm sure Schultz would have been happy to wash your hair with his tongue.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
He would've done a great job cleaning it up.
DeleteIt looks funny!
ReplyDeleteIf my hair was blond, it would have been very noticeable.
DeleteI suppose you could have started a new trend in shampoo....there's no accounting to taste.
ReplyDeleteGreat story Dherry.
Yvonne.
I wonder how well food scented shampoos would sell.
DeleteThat was cute. You may have just given someone a new marketing idea.

We'll see. If you see Pot Roast scented shampoo, remember that you first heard about it here. ;)
DeleteHmmm, maybe not, Sherry :) But I bet the pot roast tasted delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was delicious!
DeleteMy thoughts exactly Alex, I also had images of Sherry being pursued by a group of dogs.
ReplyDeleteIf any were around, I'm sure they would have followed me.
Deletefunny how Schultz let you out of the house
ReplyDeleteHe was sleeping on the job. ;)
DeleteWell, "they" say, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Maybe your hubby will like the new scented you? I laughed, sorry, Sherry. ❤️
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't around to notice.
Delete1 :)LOL! Did anyone remark on your wet hair? So funny
ReplyDeleteNo. There wasn't much in my hair. If anybody noticed, they didn't say anything.
DeletePardon my typing. I am trying to get used to Windows after using a Mac for almost a decade.
ReplyDeleteI bet to Schultz that would practically be like perfume.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should have pot-roast scented shampoo for dogs. They have chicken flavored toothpaste already.
DeleteThere are worse things to find in your hair. I won't elaborate ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha!
DeleteI wouldn't be surprised if pot roast-scented shampoo actually did exist somewhere already, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI should look that up.
DeleteLOL! That made me laugh, I've done this with tuna in a can and had the water spray on me! It's terrible smelling like food. I'm not sure it would be a good shampoo though! Ha ha. You might get a lot of dogs on you!

I think I'd prefer pot roast over tuna! ;)
DeleteAnother problem with pot roast scented shampoo - I'd be hungry all day.
ReplyDeleteYes. Unless you just had pot roast for dinner. ;-)
DeletePot roast smell can be kind of intense, so maybe not the best thing to have lingering around. I constantly spill food on myself though. I can be kind of an accidental slob sometimes.
ReplyDeletePot roast is intense. It's amazing how long that smell lingers in the house.
DeleteHa! This has happened to me before. Maybe not with beef juice, though.
ReplyDeleteNext time, I'm going to do a thorough inspection before going out the door!
DeleteWhen things like this happen I keep looking at people who saw me before I could tidy up and wondering, "Did they notice?" And no, beef does not hold any hope of becoming a popular shampoo scent.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if anybody noticed. If they did, they were polite enough not to say anything.
