what smells like baby aspirin? Other than baby aspirin?→[More:]Went to the Low concert last night (very nice), but there was a strange mixture of body smells, including this lady who came in 1/2 way trough the show asked what they had already played (... well gee lady I forgot to take notes, sorry...) and smelled overpoweringly like baby aspirin. It was very possible that she was high on something as her behavior was a bit overly giggly, so if that relates to the smell...

ideas?

Triple sec.

Seriously.

Do people drink triple sec straight? I've never heard of that before.

Although I met an older woman once who told me her mother would make her drink a glass of vermouth with a raw egg every morning before school....

I didn't suggest that she drank it straight. Just that it smells like baby aspirin. Because it does.

Seriously.

I think the smell of baby aspirin is kind of an orange scent. So triple sec would make sense.

Guess I haven't had baby aspirin awhile. I'm still curious what she could have been drinking that would have such a strong triple sec smell, though. I imagine any drink with it in would have another spirit with a much stronger scent.

Do they even make those anymore?

I think baby aspirin smells faintly of Tang.

Triple sec is a good guess from behavior.

I've had Tang within the last few years, not quite the same. I fact it took me awhile to nail down baby aspirin because I hadn't encountered it in a while, but once remembered never forgot.

Maybe she was drinking creamsicle cocktails.

Do they even make baby aspirin now that babies aren't allowed to have aspirin?

I realize no one is actually going to read this now, but the concert itself was pretty great, Mim was actually talkative, pretty rare, and Al was funnier and more conversant than usual, Matt payed a smallish organ that I hadn't seen before. This albums feels a lot less angry then the last, even though the lyrics are certainly pretty dark at times, prolly something to do with... er I guess I should stop now, considering it IS the internet.

Yes. 81 mg. Chewable, baby or children's aspirin. I gave a couple out today as a matter of fact -- to adults.

Chewable vitamin C.
