I'm guessing the toast thing came around from the possibility of damage to or disturbing the olfactory nerves if there's increased pressure on them like from the brain swelling (possibly from a concussion) or from bleeding inside the braincase.

It makes sense on paper, but I doubt there would be many times a patient would be conscious at that point.
