Smell & taste are the two chemical senses, & their function in perception is closely related. Taste is actuall limited, & about 80% to 90% of the information used when designating a "taste" is smell. Folks with disorders of olfaction are severely limited in their perceptions of taste, often with disastrous results. As people get older, their olfactory receptors are reduced (Don't they know their house smells funny? No.) & they're less discriminatory between tastes (Gramma's cooking tastes bad), & become less able to tell when food's gone bad.
What something smells like is most of the reference for what something tastes like; that's why you get "This chipped beef tastes like dead armodillo smells".
Still, many folks have disorders where they're compelled to eat odd things: hardware, etc. due to a psychological compulsion; other things like big chunks of salt or butter due to some actual nutirional deficiency due to an undiagnosed medical disorder. Since Brad has never revealed the ingredients of Film-Guard, there is too little information to hypothesize why Bruce & Brent are compelled to ingest it. Brent probably is compelled to drink ant & roach killer to control the effects of tapeworms, roundworms, & other parasites which may have colonized his intestines.
