Summary

The web content humorously addresses the aftermath of a garlic-heavy meal, inviting readers to contribute their own garlic-themed haikus.

Abstract

The article titled "We BOTH Smell Like Garlic" playfully explores the pungent aroma of garlic through a series of reactions, starting with an initial aversion to kissing due to the smell, followed by the realization that the person who cooked the meal is also likely to share the scent. The piece includes a photograph captioned "Even worse!" and a string of emojis to convey disgust and surprise. It credits Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 for the prompt about garlic and references a related article on "Garlic Naan." The article concludes by challenging readers, including a list of individuals, to write their own 17-syllable haikus on the subject of garlic, encouraging them to submit their creations to "The Brain is a Noodle."
