Blink - I respectfully disagree here. Cindy is a nurse. I'm pretty confident she has smelled a dead body before. Even is she had seen the pizza, if the car smelled like dead body she would have used the same words.
Not to mention George was a detective and he brought the car home, thereby smelling the same smell.
The smell of a dead body cannot be mistaken for any other rotting thing in my opinion. It is very distinctive and not easily confused with other smells. Cindy said the words because she recognized the smell and was paniced because her daughter did not know where her granddaughter was.
Just my opinion,
Salem, we are actually agreeing, my point is, after the fact she is backpedaling on the dead body smell and challenging the free world to try their own pizza experiment- why would she be doing that as we assume she HAS smelled a dead body before? Agreed she might have said it anyway if she saw the pizza, but her whole story now is that the smell DID come from the pizza??
