Never noticed... maybe, but I don't make a habit of sniffing chips.

Chips: 2,986 | | | Do new ASM chips smell like candy? **Also discuss puppy feet** I posted this in the "Donkey KGB" group buy thread, but then thought a poll was in order.
Anybody else ever notice that brand new ASMs smell sweet?! Seriously, every time I open the case, it smells like candy! I don't think it's psychological ... even if the pink w/ black and chocolate w/ white chips do look a bit like candy.
They sure smell better than my PI Chinese clay tourney set (had a chemical smell to them, but it mostly went away after oiling) and I don't recall any noticeable odour to my Samurais when they were brand new.

I haven't noticed any smell, but perhaps there was when they first arrived and has dissipated...I didn't notice anything particular when there were new though, as far as I can remember. |
