ZOMG Smells Color and Flavor: Six Quarks General Catalog Perfume Oil (Available)

The up and down quarks are the most stable of all the quark pairs: the others undergo particle decay and end up as one or the other. Were one inclined to indulge a metaphorical fancy, one might note that Up and Down could be interpreted as the afterlives of the other quarks, which gives Down in particular a rather nifty bit of villainy.

Quarks in hell: black patchouli, smoked clove, and a leather bullwhip. Fun!
