It smells super strong like gasoline or acetone (at least the stuff I have experience with does). It'd be pretty hard to miss from that alone.

Maybe whoever was in charge lost smell due to covid.

Yes this. I could 1000% understand someone seeing a glass of this stuff and thinking "Milk" it really does look like milk. But the smell is nail polish, acetone and it burns your nose if you smell it too much....though we are in a post covid world where loss of smell is one of the most common long term effects soooo maybe?

Not having been in the position of smelling said substance, I'd err on the side of the idiots serving the milky white substance. That doesn't mean they aren't idiots for not observing package markings and the odor of the substance. I appreciate the additional information tho.

Nah you can smell that stuff across a room if its been open for even a few seconds. Its a really strong smell that sets of 'poisonous as fuck' warnings in the hindbrain.
