Armpit Sniffer
In the glamorous world of deodorant testing, there exists a profession where people literally sniff armpits for a living. These “odour evaluators” spend their day evaluating the strength and longevity of antiperspirants on human test subjects. Equipped with a keen nose and a strong stomach, they bury their face in strangers’ pits, sometimes dozens of times an hour.
This job isn’t just awkward—it’s deeply humbling. Imagine trying to make small talk at dinner and explaining that you get paid to smell sweat. While some testers claim to enjoy identifying “nuanced scent breakdowns,” the rest of us are still trying to process the mental image. No amount of money can wash away the psychological stink.
