Edible Smelling Salts

The smell of food wakes a character up. If the character wakes up smelling food but there is no implicit or explicit causal link, then it doesn't count. Implicit causal links can be in the form of another character deliberately invoking this or the sleeping character waking up shortly after the food reaches him.
