Question about "Sharpies"

[Archae]

I got a Sharpie a couple days ago, (found it on the road,) and while it writes terrific, I have one quesion about it.

Do all Sharpies have ink that smells so bad?

1. I use an ultra thin sharpie to write with

I think the ink smells good.

2. Mine says "ultra fine point"

And I think the smell is pretty lousy.

Not bad enough to stop using the pen, since it's terrific.

5. Yeah, I've been using Sharpies for years, they smell kinda rank.

6. I think some people are just more sensitive to the smell.

I work a lot with sharpies and don't even notice the smell. But some of my students complain about it, so I just open the window. I think it's the alcohol (that makes them dry quickly) that has the offending odor.
