I feel like they went overboard on the car myth and still busted it. First of all, the myth just says a guy died in there. They used two pigs which is more than just one guy, plus they sealed it and put it in a shipping container. It defeats the spirit of the myth. If this happened naturally, the car would not have been sealed, thus much of the scent would have escaped. They ramped the myth up to 1000 which should have made it plausible at least and not busted

Okay, I love this episode, but the verdict still confuses me. The myth says that a car with a corpse festering would be impossible to get the smell out of, which was true as not even the crime scene clean-up crew could. Shouldn't the myth be confirmed? The myth never says that the car isn't sold, only that whoever buys it has to deal with the smell. I feel like they forgot what the myth was about. They say it's busted because they couldn't clean it, even though the myth says that they wouldn't. I just kinda feel crazy cause it felt like they confirmed it, but are so adamant that it's busted.

Human beings are extremely sensitive to decomposing animals. It makes sense. While we were involving, eating something past its prime could end up in an early death. As result, we evolved to hate such smells. Interesting yet obvious, flies are the exact opposite.
