NWA 096 H3.8, possibly paired with NWA 107 H3.7, and a few other H3.8's,
released a sweet odor during cutting. Many people thought that slices of it
smelled like bubble gum. This smell wears off so you might (read would
likely) have to cut it again in order to smell it, if your slice was
prepared some time ago.

Clear Skies,
Mark
