Reply to comment by enemy_of_your_enema in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65

Is it that the bacteria smells like Fritos? Or is it that Fritos smell that the bacteria?

Think about it, dogs have been around a long time, Fritos have been around a relatively short amount of time.
