Maybe I'm getting closer to being ready for the rubber room, but...
I bought some of the Spectrum brand organic refined coconut oil a week or so ago and it has a discernible taste that is reminiscent of bacon...almost like bacon grease. It even has a very faint smell to that similar effect. I've tried it several times to try and convince myself it is my taste buds playing tricks on me, but I still taste it, immediately. I've bought this brand before and other refined coconut oils, and have always found them to be without any taste.
Is there any reasonable, or even somewhat conceivable, reason how this could be? I emailed the company over a week ago and got no reply. So, I'm assuming they think it was a joke or that I have a screw loose. Trying to decide if there is any risk in eating it or if I should take it back to store (no receipt though) or just pitch it (hate to waste the 10 bucks or so).
