When aspirin smell vinegary it means it is spoiled. The chemical composition is breaking down. Anytime your aspirin products smell like vinegar, you should throw them away. They are old and no good. Check your expiration date-I would bet they are way outdated!

Any time a medication that contains aspirin smells like vinegar it is ruined. It means the med has started to break down. It might not work in this state and should be discarded. Probably heat was a factor in this, also moisture.
