The smell of bacon?

If your nose is stopped up, you cannot taste anything therefore if you can smell things, you can taste it. Right?

How many calories are in a bacon smell? .01? .0001? What if you smell it all day due to a fundraiser going on in the building?

    I usually figure that smelling bacon and *kitten* to the smell of bacon just naturally offset.

    How about walking past the bakery while the door is open? Or the fresh baked cookie shop at the mall? My pants feel more snug just walking past, but it smells so good.

    Taste doesn't affect calories. Food has to be digested to be stored as fat or burned for energy.

    So tasting any kind of refined sugar should not affect me at all, right?

    I have no idea if it will "affect" you, but the taste will not provide you with calories. Only consuming it will do that.

    I thought the premise is that the OP was 'tasting' things by smelling them. Broken down and digested would mean it was consumed.

    I'm pretty sure smelling bacon burns calories.
