wow. i thought I was losing it until I saw this thread. my new spindles of G04s smell like maple syrup.

I'm trying to figure out what is worse...

The fact that DVD media smells like different food catagories.. or the fact that when I get home I'm going to open all of my spindles and take a big whiff..

"Does the pizza disc come in 30 min or its free? Cause with meritline that would be alot of free disc"

LOL..wouldn't have understood that joke if I didn't recently order media through meritline. Thank god it was only CD-R media.

I just opened a spindle of imations and yea, it smells kinda funky. I wouldnt say sweet, but maybe burnt maple syrup i guess. im just wondering why the orig poster was sniffin his stuff. I mean, I had to get my nose down there and sniff hard to notice it. Wonder if he works at the bowling alley's front desk where they hand out and retrieve the bowling shows.

When I saw this post many months ago, I felt really jealous. My media at the time (maxell) had no smell at all. tonight I opened a cake of ridata from newegg, and oh man I'm tellin' ya... I'm cookin' up flapjacks here.
