"I honey scotch, scotchy, scotch, scotch." No, genuinely as well as different Ron Burgundy, I don't similar scotch - I can't stand upwards the stuff! 
But ironically, scotch as well as the elixir of life known equally insulin (we're talking synthetic insulin folks, non the form that working pancreases make, the form people alongside busted pancreases inject) which I exercise honey as well as appreciate, convey 1 really distictive affair inward mutual - The smell. They both odor similar band- Aids.
So Diabetesalicious readers, did you lot e'er wonder why insulin as well as scotch smells similar bandaids? 
SIDEBAR: Personally I intend insulin smells similar Band-Aids as well as fear, only I digress. 
Any how, cheers to the folks @PopSci, immediately nosotros know. It's all almost Creosol as well as it's as well as it's odiferous cousin creosote ( it's a toxic woods perservative) as well as is used in.... Wait for it....wait for it....synthetic Insulin as well as Band-Aids.
They are too works life inward Peat,(a.k.a., partially decayed works life products - Ewww) inward something called Phenols which is pretty of import when it comes to making scotch. Apparently scotch is basically barley H2O fermented as well as smoked via dried inward peat fires which free phenols inward the barley H2O as well as is essentially as well as for all intensive purposes, Scotch is Peat Juice. So stick that inward your peat pipage as well as fume it! 
And immediately for the Band-Aid part of our show. Band-Aids comprise something called meta-cresol, which is similar to the creosol works life inward insulin as well as meta-cresol is all types of antiseptic & medicinal qualities as well as is used inward said Band-Aids.
