Why does your sweat sometimes smell like something you ate?

It depends on the odor you are familiar with. Some may not have the same smell. Sweat happens when a part of your body has absorbed heat, and it releases water from your pores. The water and the heat have a chemical reaction, and a smell forms from the result. Most people do not like this smell, and try to repel with using chemicals from perfume, speedstick, and other body-odor-repelling products. In the end, odors may smell differently among people, however most people can agree it's not the best smell in the world.
