One time my brother brought home a blown up toyota diff (the removable third member) and we used it to drive out his obnoxious douchebag roommates. It was so bad, just cracking one of the bearing cap bolts loose filled the entire house with the worst gear oil stench ever.
It right in my face was the only non-human related smell that ever made me dry heave. Even the cats ran to the open windows and tried to push the screens out. It was horrible but at the same time so hilarious

We tried to make a deal with them lol, either they stop being stupid and watching glee, or we drive them out. We won.

LMAO!!! So that's why it seemed so familiar! When I first bought my XJ, I already knew the fill plug on the rear diff was leaking so, I brought a quart of 75-90 and a new plug with me. My dad gave me a ride to go pick it up and when I broke the seal on the oil, I commented that it smelled kind of like an energy drink I once had. He just looked at me like I was crazy.

Just imagine the worst smell you've ever smelled that doesn't come out of cloth and makes you not want to eat. Gear Oil!!!! I hate it.

It's like 9000% sulphur with the staying power of oil. It feels like it's coating your lungs and sinuses with rotten-egg solvent action
