I wish I could bottle the smell of this one (or maybe not). You'd realize
why I asked the question. You know how if you make something that's really
garlicky the night before and stick the dish in the sink? If it's not
washed right away, that odor of rotting garlic permeates the house. That's
what this cutting board smells like. It's bad. Not kidding.
