What happened to my B vitamins???

I've been taking B vitamins for years and this is the first time I've ever seen this:
They're soft
Spotted
Smell horrible (worse than they smell naturally)
Taste awful (usually I can't taste them)
And it doesn't matter how fast I swallow them, they leave yellow residue all over my tongue.
I know it can't be because they're old because one of the B's are brand new. I was thinking maybe the weather but like I've said, I've been taking them for years and have never seen this before. Can I put them in the fridge? Do you think that would help?
You can always give them to your homosexual friends, that way they wouldn't go to waste.

my thoughts exactly.... wtf?
Errr... yes? :O

That's gay.
my guess is heat/moisture. maybe they need to be kept in the fridge?

That's what I was thinking. Would they be any less effective if they were in the fridge?
nah, if anything, it would help preserve their potency or something. right?
I would write to the company, and don't take any more (yuck!). Save the bottle in case they need a lot number off of it. If they are new, they probably were stored improperly or contaminated somewhere in the production/distribution process, or in the store where you bought them. Unless you had them for a long time before opening them, it probably isn't anything you did wrong. You could store future bottles in the fridge, but chances are this was just a bad batch.
It has nothing to do with the company. They're two different vitamins by two different companies, bought at two different times that were fine until around the same time. I put them in the fridge so hopefully they'll be fine.
