Takes smell

Can you say that the food takes on the smell of?

Lets say you make food in the bathroom and it doesn't smell good in there. Not that anyone makes food in there.

Don't make food in there, the food is going I take the smell of the poop.

Don't put water in thermostat. It'll take the taste of the coffee that had been stored in there no matter how much you wash it.

When packing your suitcase, if you have dirty clothes put them in a plastic bag. You don't want your clean clothes to take the smell of the dirty ones

Thanks
