Dastardly nasty thread

My DSM who loves a bargain gave me some gorgeous threads for christmas year before last. Beautful colours, some variegated, some plain - about 12-15 spools. States on the label it's all cotton, 100% genuine cotton. Made in France.Yeah right!It is branded "DMC" and since I vaguely recall hearing about them I figured it'd be good. Went to do some sewing with it the other night and snap - it broke off. Threaded up again, few stitches later - kerplunk. Broken again. Changed reels. Same deal. Finally chose a third reel of the stuff and pulled the thread - snap. Pulled again - snap. This stuff is weaker than me in a chocolate shop.I think it is now doomed to sit in my cupboard forever. Such beautiful beautiful colours but totally useless.

Alas Patti mine was not cut on the spool (I dropped one and chased it down the hallway - you know how clumsy I can be!!) and it just seems to twang and break.
