Oh no - that doesn't sound right at all. I've never had that problem with it and I've been using it for years. Did you buy more than one bag? If so, do they all smell funny?

Ha !! We should have a SW competition on how often the sun comes out this year ! I think it was twice maybe three times in 2016 !! I still have images of Sandy's water photos from the other year embedded in my memory so not hard to beat the last 3 years !!
If it walks like a Duck Laura... I think they've added it to wrong bag. CB
