Seriously!
I bought them today having web ordered them. We're at a small intimate bonfire and everyone is commenting....

Only one of them.

WTF?

DD has those at the stables, I’m going to sniff them tomorrow 😳

I bought Asda wellies in August and they definitely stank like weed! It's faded now. I think must just be the plastic they used.

i noticed this walking round their shoe section today, was told that its normal and the weather proofing i think it was she said

BringOnTheScience · 03/11/2018 19:51

... the purple sparkles are wonderful and worth it though! 😁

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 03/11/2018 19:54

Why are people smelling your DD's wellies?!

dungandbother · 03/11/2018 19:57

It's reeking out the gathering! I'm absolutely thrilled that I'm not the only one ! Hilarious that Asda's all over the country stink like a weed farm

I had the same problem with wellies.

I was seriously puzzled.

StepMug · 03/11/2018 19:58

One aisle is out ASDA smells like weed too! I thought it was coming from a person the first time but it’s been like that every time I’ve been in there since!

Longdistance · 03/11/2018 19:59

There are similar wellies at Sainsbury’s with the glitter. They stink! I passed on buying them for dd. 🤢

LostInShoebiz · 03/11/2018 20:29

Some rubbery things do smell that way. The seat of my exercise bike stinks of weed.

tectonicplates · 03/11/2018 20:35

I've had this problem with a lot of plastic products - even the plastic bags that clothes are sent in sometimes.

SoulToSqueeze · 03/11/2018 20:39

Ah yes when we were in Asda last week looking at wellies for DD it was all I could smell! Luckily the Peppa one's we picked out didn't smell at all lol

LazyDoll · 03/11/2018 20:49

I was at a bonfire yesterday that REEKED of weed! Maybe I should have been checking out wellies for sparkles to see where the smell was coming from instead of eying up everyone's rollies ✨

FoodGloriousFud · 04/11/2018 11:09

It's what there made of, the Next ones do too!

Titsywoo · 04/11/2018 11:12

I've been smelling weed a lot too recently. Someone was drinking alcohol free becks at a party last week and that smells like it. I often smell it strongly while walking down the street or driving but can never see anyone smoking. Odd!

Racecardriver · 04/11/2018 13:21

It’s the glue probably. It sometimes happens with hand bags as well.

Villanellesproudmum · 04/11/2018 13:26

Weed scented boots, best not be going through any airports or customs wearing them Grin

AviatorShades · 04/11/2018 13:26

Just amazed at how many of you actually know what weed smells likeGrin
(saunters off,whistling, halo in place, but a teeny bit nostalgic for my wild weed-smoking fun days..)

EscapeToTheMoon · 04/11/2018 14:03

Id have no idea. Never smelled the stuff

sohypnotic · 04/11/2018 14:09

Yes to the PP about the exercise bike stinking of weed! Everyone thought I was crazy!

MunchMunch · 04/11/2018 14:09

I bought dd some sparkly blue wellies back in August for a weekend activity trip and the smell was horrible and so strong so I left them out to air. I put them inside two carrier backs when the airing didn't work and the other day I moved the bag from under the stairs and it's still as strong as ever!

MamaLovesMango · 04/11/2018 14:12

It’s the plastic or the lining! DD had a pair from Tesco that smelt like she’s just walked out of a café in Amsterdam. They were for school too Grin

mumsastudent · 04/11/2018 14:53

is it possible hemp is used in their making? same family as cannabis but no highs - do they have same smell - could they be used in their lining???

TheQueef · 04/11/2018 14:55

Hemp or formaldehyde.

As a toker I can recommend neither.

mumsastudent · 04/11/2018 14:57

organicclothing.blogs.com/my_weblog/2005/12/hemp_facts_on_t.html actually I might be right (!!!) hemp is used for lots of things & apparently as its related to cannabis it may smell like it! (but you cant get high :) )!
