I am really baffled when something doesn't smell like it's supposed to, and I'm not talking about food. I mean actual objects around your house. For example, the new ties for my curtains (yes, the brown velvet ones) smell like syrup! It's not a particularly bad smell, it's just not right! There had to have been a mixup at the Syrup and Curtain Tie factory. Are there bottles of syrup out there right now that smell like tasseled curtain ties?

Peculiar.
