Blindfolded Guess That Smell Challenge Goes OFF The Rails (Extreme Pie-In-The-Face Game Show With CoreniaBug + 13 Mystery Smells & Bonus Rounds)

 If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you combined a blindfold, mystery smells, and the ancient sport of getting pied in the face… congratulations, you’ve found your people.

 In this episode of Guess That Smell, CoreniaBug puts her nose on the line in a DIY game show where every wrong guess comes with a whipped-cream “consequence” delivered at close range. It’s equal parts strategy, chaos, and the kind of confidence that only exists right before you smell onions and say “garlic” with your whole chest.

The rules are simple: sniff the mystery item, guess the smell, move on… or get turned into a human dessert. And listen—some smells are easy (coffee basically announces itself like a friend who doesn’t knock). Others are sneaky, like glue pretending to be vinegar, which feels illegal. There’s also a bonus round, because apparently this show runs on vibes and poor decision-making—my favorite genre.

Highlights you’ll want to watch for:

• The “I’ve got this” energy that lasts exactly one smell

• The moment your brain says “mint” but your mouth says “mouthwash” (tragic)

• The surprise realization that money has a smell… and it’s not “rich,” it’s “paper with ambition”

• The bonus rounds where confidence shows up again and immediately gets humbled

Real jokes (because this game deserves them):

• CoreniaBug didn’t just guess that smell—she guessed “gym socks” and the judges said, “That’s salami.” Somewhere, a sandwich is crying.

• Getting hit with whipped cream repeatedly is basically skincare, right? Like a facial… if the facial came with emotional damage.

• At this point it’s less “pie in the face” and more “whipped cream subscription service.”

Quick fun facts (short + actually interesting):

• Your sense of smell is a huge part of “taste” — a lot of what you think you’re tasting is actually your nose doing the heavy lifting.

• The inside of your nose uses mucus (yep) to trap dust and germs—so when you’re sniffing mystery items, your nose is working overtime like, “I did not clock in for this.”

• Some scents linger and can “overwrite” the next smell (so if vinegar shows up, it might haunt the rest of the game like a ghost with a salad dressing hobby).

By the end, CoreniaBug proves two things:

1. Smell challenges are way harder when you can’t use your eyes, and

2. Pie to the face is an excellent motivator… just not for accuracy.

If you watch this and think, “I could do better,” I dare you to try it at home—just make sure you have paper towels, a brave soul, and a very forgiving couch.

Question for the comments:
What would wreck you first in a blindfold smell test—onion, glue, vinegar, or soy sauce?

(And yes… we’re absolutely doing another one.)
