Over a decade ago, between the launches of Mass Effect 2 and 3, fans got really invested in Tali'Zorah. The Quarian party member was always beloved, but by the sequels she'd become a romance option and the subject of even more affection - to the point that one fan used science to determine what her sweat would "smell and taste like." The results are the stuff of fandom legend, and the community still can't forget it all these years later.
The original post came from the now-defunct BioWare forums and has long since been lost to time, but it lives on in screencaps and copypastas. Community accounts of the whole thing it created suggest it all started around 2010, but I just learned about the sweat analysis thanks to Kala Elizabeth, a prominent Mass Effect content creator who just tweeted a screenshot of the whole thing.
