M&S White Paper Napkins 50 per pack

VERY NOTICEABLE BAD SMELL SO NEVER BUYING AGAIN

These smell badly of mouthwash (to put it in a nice way, I'm afraid), so I certainly wouldn't lift one to my mouth to wipe away any food. They are very recycling-conscious, so are in a box, but tragically with an open front, so the top napkin is open to the elements, so who knows if something clear has been splashed onto the napkins and soaked in. Bad news, particularly if the idea is to phase out the excellent non-smelling "M&S White 2 Ply Paper Napkins 50 per pack" made in the EU instead of China (these) - I would pay double for the better ones if faced with these smelly ones I'm afraid. If the plastic pack of the better ones is a problem, why not just get the good non-smelling ones packaged in a fully enclosing box? Anyway, I've done a product request for the other good ones, as they are out of stock at the moment, to encourage them to be restocked, even with a rise in price if need be. These cheaper ones are called "Essential", and they are certainly not good due to the smell and open pack.
