Does anybody else notice that the bundle of breadboard jumper wires STINK! (as in small bad)
I think they smell like gasoline, my wife says they smell like mothballs to her.
I love these flexible wires, they are so much faster to use than pre-formed solid wire, but MAN! I have to leave them out in the garage when I am not using them!.

Re: Stinky Wires!
The ones I have smell, but not so much that I have to kick them out of the house!
Keep them in a sealed plastic bag.
"My dog has no nose."
"How does it smell?"
"Terrible!"

Re: Stinky Wires!
We had to rush order a bunch of wire bundles and they came directly from the factory so they may still be off-gassing the rubber molding compound. If you leave them outside for a day they will complete off-gassing and unless you snort them it wont be noticeable

Re: Stinky Wires!
I ordered similar wires in the Netherlands. The odor was unbearable even after a week of airing outside. I have thrown them away in the end.
