TIL using olive oil on my chain was a bad idea
It made my bike smell like a salad but squeaked worse than ever.

Seriously, the squeak was probably from not cleaning the chain first.

Disagree completely, I've used olive oil as a quick fix for years. It works fine if you wipe off the excess really well. The problem is people drown the chain in it, then it just collects grit. A thin coat lasts a decent while before it gums up.
