What is it about a burned match?

Okay, what is it about a burned match that kills any and all odors possible?  I have a background in chemistry so I should know this, but I still can't figure it out.  I love the smell of a burned match.  For some reason, it reminds me of being a kid and the match being used to light the charcoal grill before an outdoor BBQ.  (Even though it wasn't a "true" barbeque and was simply a grilling session, but I digress.  I guess it's also the reason why I like the smell of charcoal and lighter fluid).

Just now I got rid of the "lunch" I ate yesterday and it didn't leave smelling all too pleasant.  I tried to get rid of the smell by opening the window in the bathroom, but it just wouldn't go away.  I tried an air-freshener, but that just made it smell like poop-scented flowers.  I also tried to use Febreeze odor remover, but that failed as well.  Finally, I lit a match and the odor was gone.  Now there's just the smell of burned match in the air.  No rotted poo.  ;D 

I now have a box of matches in my bathroom downstairs, and the bathroom upstairs.  Take THAT Martha Stewart!   :cheers:

Back in college we had 6 guys living in the same apartment that had only one bathroom which was right next to the living room.  Luckily we found an air freshener that is more powerful then anything else I've ever smelled.  Its all natural and orange scented and is usually hidden up on a high shelf if the stores carry it at all.  I don't know why its not more popular since it works so amazingly well.

You don't even have to tell me the name.  It's called Orange-Mate Mist.  You should switch to Lime-Mate.  It smells a lot better -- more like real fruit -- and it works at least as well.  The match works fine, but it's kind of a giveaway.  Try Lime-Mate Mist.  It is seriously bloody amazing stuff.

Well then, why don't you write a book about it?  "Project Poo:  Building Your Own Stinkless Poop."  You could then include plans, and even ready made stinkless poo.  That shouldn't be too difficult for ya!   ;) :P ;D  :cheers:
