I do know that it is the first one but still, my shampoo smells really appetising and just like the real thing…but every time I eat a really tasty/ aromatic fruit, my brain goes like “that tastes like my shampoo/ shower gel!”
Fruit evolved to mimic the smell of shampoo so people would rub it in their hair, helping spread the seeds.
The scalp bird takes advantage of this by nesting in people’s hair and consuming the fruit. This causes another symbiotic relationship as it spreads the fruit seeds.

How do you know that your fruit tastes like shampoo if you haven’t eaten any shampoo?

When lavender infused foods got trendy twenty years ago, the first time I tried some lavender pound cake I spit it out because it tasted like soap. But I kept trying it, lavender tea, white chocolate, cakes, cookies, coffee. Eventually, lavender soap started to smell like tasty treats.
This is the truest shower thought I’ve ever seen
