Dante said...: Yeah, my Dad once told me that if you can smell a plastic bottle, it is going to leach into water, and you will drink the plastic.

Anyway, the comments at the link seem more interested in what is happening behind the closed doors than concerns over health. People with too much time, like me!!! And I might point out Ann.; 5/28/13, 7:29 AM

Depends. If it's from a teen-aged boy, it might smell like the latex from a years-old, unused condom.; 5/28/13, 7:42 AM

Darrell said...: Somebody made a joke on the internet or Twitter and the idea was planted in people's brain. Just as many people complain that their bills DON'T smell like maple syrup, btw. They think they got ripped off.; 5/28/13, 8:59 AM

So you're the one!

You're not supposed to do that here, either. It's defacing the currency.; 5/28/13, 9:34 AM

Smells like overcorrection.; 5/28/13, 9:38 AM

Tibore said...: Given that both US and Canadian currency has tested the highest in the world for cocaine contamination, how much we wanna bet this was first discovered by people looking for an easy high? ;); 5/28/13, 12:39 PM
