@thetylerhayes I believe it's because the first chemical injected during many executions is Sodium Thiopentathol, which according to Wikipedia "is followed instantly by an odor and/or taste sensation, sometimes described as being similar to rotting onions, or to garlic."

Hey everyone! First of all, big thanks to Ryan Hoover for submitting this to Product Hunt, it's great to see that people find this site intriguing.
I'm very new to the world of web design, and initially this was just a personal project I started, largely as an excuse to play around with JSON, but also because I found these quotes to be intriguing, heart breaking, uplifting, and thought provoking.
The most common question I get is "why don't you include their last names and the crimes they committed?" For me, the morbid curiosity of crime and punishment isn't what this site is about. More interesting than that, in my opinion, is the state of the human mind moments before certain, unavoidable death.
Anyway, with that uplifting thought, I hope you enjoy the site, and if you have any recommendations for future updates, feel free to let me know! I'm on Twitter at @forrestmck or, if you have any humor left after reading 523 quotes of dying inmates, I have a political satire account @GOPSci.
Cheers
These final words are saddening/fascinating/thought-provoking. Some of them choked me up, like this one:
According to the word cloud, the most commonly used words were love, know, family, thank, and sorry.
