I don't recall that.  I did have one kit a while back where the included
organic solder was a little strange (it didn't want to wet the metal,  
and
I had to use a higher temp than normal), and I recall some other people
having similar comments at that time.  This might have been about
three years ago.  I can always tell the organic solder apart from the
no-clean by smell.  The organic stuff has kind of a sweet smell when
you heat it.  The no-clean doesn't have much of a smell.

Pretty sure they don't carry it anymore.  Mouser has it.
