Hello friends - the vinegar smell that usually leads to an easy fake detection process... have you come across different kinds of vitamins giving off the similar smell?  I recall a batch or two of the Vikings from last summer but right now I have a batch of climbing gear of the ten degree variety that I am quite disappointed about and have them quarantined.  A taste test resulted in feeling sick for several hours but not becoming ill thankfully.  Even taking a strong sniff of this stuff throws you off for a half hour.  Crazy.

Anyone have a similar experience or any rule of thumb along these lines?

That RCMP pill press machine picture(s) recently published (found it via Twitter) is totally freaky.

peace.

 
Years ago I was given some bars that were imprinted gg249. I knew they were fake just by looking at the way they were stamped alone! If I remember right, there was TWO different fakes in the same lot; one was larger and chalky and the other was same size but had a very strong pungent smell to it--closest thing I could compare it to would be vinegar. Unfortunately I can't remember where they came from as I was getting my vitamins from many different places back then..lol.

 
Not sure about vitamins, but aspirin especially the more expired aspirin gets, smells like vinegar. So excedrin will but usually only when it's getting old. I also used to take        fiorinal which had aspirin in it and it would always smell expired or not. Where as fioricet which was the same except had acetaminophen instead of aspirin never did. 

I wonder if your suspected fake pills were made with aspirin which would give you the smell and could make you feel sick to stomach etc.

I track with you on this - probably was the case with that batch.  Thanks!

  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
