The damage Friendshas done with this myth is probably on par with Archer and it's made-up association between having a stroke and smelling toast.

Oh did Archer do the toast thing? I heard that way before Archer. Wasn’t it even a Canadian Heritage Moment or something?

They poked a part of the brain of a conscious patient and she reported smelling burnt toast, and they learned stuff about her strokes.

I actually thought most people knew the true story and were just joking when they’d say they’re worried about having a stroke when they smell burnt toast.

Oh man thank you, I can’t believe I was right about the Heritage Minute. Miss those!
