I can smell Plasticine.

As a yoof of just six summers I was given some Plasticene to play with.
It was a bit cold and hard to squidge so I parked it in front of our
two-bar electric fire (heater) for ten minutes. When I tried to pick it
up it had become the consistency of babyshit; it stuck to my poor little
fingers and burnt like buggery. I swore there and then that I'd never do
That again.

I recently had to spend half an hour persuading my youngest that 
Plasticine is  "oil based modeling clay" after some BBC instructions had 
specified the latter. Their no-ads policy might be very laudable at 
times, but not when you're faced with a tearful eleven-year-old who 
wants you to drive fifteen miles to buy something that he's already got.

Which reminds me of an Eddie Izzard quote - "People say that human flesh
tastes like pork - or conversely...".

AFAIA, marzipan a) isn't an explosive, and b) doesn't smell like Plasticine.

<shakes head in disbelief>

C4 is an RDX based plastic explosive[1] that smells like marzipan.

Sniff it long enough and you'll get the Mother of all headaches.

[1] It can be 'moulded' like Plasticine. Or marzipan.

As regards a) I can assure you that when I eat marzipan it can end up 
being fairly explosive. As regards b) I couldn't possibly comment as I 
haven't encountered plasticine in decades and by and large I prefer to 
avoid marzipan.
