I wonder if it smells like rotten grapes? 😆

Might taste like that grape flavored cough syrup. Keep out of reach of children. Sometimes you just have to ask a serious company “why”?

The only stuff I used was the posi-traction fluid with the whale oil, and yes it did have an unusual smell.

I would have said a couple of unserious companies but then thought it might be the new industrial relations. I gotta think though that there are some line workers snickering about what they got the company to do. I would prefer root beer myself. GSQ.
