Friction Labs - did they change the recipe?

I recently opened two new bags of friction labs (gorilla grip/blue bag), and both bags have chalk that doesn't feel like the stuff I'm used to. It feels kind of dusty/grainy, and makes my hands feel kind of slick...hard to describe, but it doesn't feel like their old stuff. Did they change their recipe? Anyone know?

fancy chalk is a con

Does it taste any different?

I don’t normally buy friction labs chalk but it was the only choice on a recent climbing trip and I must say it felt just how you described. 

Could be your skin is overly dry and the chalk is less effective. Wood fingers in winter is a common issue for me now i live in a drier, higher elevation area

It's chalk...... 99% magnesium carbonate, 1% very effective marketing. 

I've had a couple bad bags before it's super grainy, the chunks are so hard I can't break them up with my fingers, and it's just dry and doesn't stick to the hand. they were definitely bad bags I wonder if some moister got in them, I told the manager at the gym if I get another bag like that I'm trading it out.

I'm sure he was suuuuuuper understanding.

I just open it up right when I buy it and if it's not what I'm looking for I'm grabbing another bag, you can't be a push over, that's how you lose money and get taken advantage of

Homies are really out here opening up bags of chalk in the gym to get the right "feel"... jfc.
