Why would you do this? I would just get a marker and label each one with an “S” so you don’t make this same mistake in the future.

I always have to watch it 20 times before I continue scrolling

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Exactly 🤣🤣🤣.

[–] gibmiser 15 points 10 months ago

denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

[–] jordanlund 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

S for salt, s for sugar, so there's no confusion.

[–] acetanilide 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would do an upside down S, less confusion

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would do a cool S.

First thing i did, while my mouth was still salty from the first bite, is go get my sharpie.

Never again

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is also why it's required for restaurants to label all containers.

A clear jar of what is assumed vinegar could be bleach, and those tiny mix ups could be deadly.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I don't think anybody keeps cleaning agents and food ingredients in the same place, I definitely don't, don't know anybody who does, so it's logical to assume it should be the same in restaurants

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Vinegar can be a very effective cleaning agent though, it's not just used for food.

Restaurants absolutely shouldn't.

However, people suck and it happens, probably more often than you would want.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your mouth was salty? What’s the problem then?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You don't understand, this batter was a lot saltier than the batter you're thinking of

[–] KonalaKoala 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is probably why it is usually a good idea to label your bottles or containers with names like salt, sugar, baking soda, flour, etc.

[–] Senshi 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But that's boring. Just close your eyes, grab any packet or bottle at random and apply with gusto. This way you will always be surprised at new and fresh taste combinations!

[–] AngryCommieKender 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've heard cooking and baking referred to as art and science, interchangeablely depending on who you talk to. I've never seen someone try to turn it into alchemy.

One time I got a coffee to go, only to find they’d put salt instead of sugar.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And it takes your brain a moment to figure out what the hell is happening...like a complete out of body experience first thing in the morning

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

“We’ve replaced Che_Donkey’s normal morning sugar with crystalline LSD. Let’s see if he notices!”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

at first I was like, "Ha Ha! I get that reference."

then I realized how old the reference is ...

....now I'm depressed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Salt in coffee is actually a thing. I think it decreases the perception of the bitter taste or something? I don't remember. I just remember trying it and not caring for it, because I like the taste of coffee.

(It's a very small amount of salt though. Like a pinch in a cup is more than enough.)

[–] HootinNHollerin 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This was an undrinkable amount

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It’s a lot, dammit!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I actually do make my French Toast with salt and pepper. No sugar, except in the maple syrup. It's far superior.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

This is also why I like to use kosher salt, very distinct grains

[–] Thrawne 5 points 10 months ago

I mixed these up as a kid once. Worst jug of kool-aid i ever had. Fruit punch “sweetened” with salt.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

You put sugar on your French toast?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Tons, and cinnamon, flour, and a little bit of salt. I find that the bread dilutes the flavor, so i overload the batter to compensate.

I don't like bland french toast

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

In the batter. Eggs, milk, sugar.

[–] Tier1BuildABear 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably powdered sugar, which makes op even more stupid. Jk he probably added powdered salt

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Powdered salt is great for popcorn! Grind it up in a spice grinder and you get this ~~terrible~~ awesome superfine powder for popcorn

[–] ME5SENGER_24 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

My parents store their’s like this. I thought I’d be a good son and make everyone bacon and pancakes for breakfast one day while visiting. Mistakes were made, good thing there was enough bacon to go around

[–] Etterra 3 points 10 months ago

You did this to yourself lol

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Murphy's law Op. Glad you learned about it on a non threatening scenario.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah good thing OP found out in a low stakes situation. Can you imagine if it was more serious?

“Cast your hope aside Mortal, for the demon Karanathaghar has set his eye on thee!”

“Oh I know. I’ve seen this in the x-files. I’ll just make a neat little ring of salt around me …”

“You sweeten yourself for me. Bwahahahaha!”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That's really funny. I'm sorry for laughing at your expense

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I was assured by Ted Lasso that this will turn out okay.

[–] tomi000 1 points 10 months ago

You accidentally used sugar? Sucks

[–] Tuss 1 points 10 months ago

I had nearly the same problem on new years.

Was going to put vanilla sugar in my whipped cream but accidentally put baking soda as its the exact same container.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Savory french toast slaps. Put sum cheese on that bad boy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

But using as much salt they normally would use sugar? Most people put shitloads of sugar on french toast.

[–] Acamon 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was confused about this... A little sugar won't ruin your French toast, and you can always salt it afterwards... I genuinely forget that people eat it sweet, I'm a cheddar and bacon boy myself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah that’s just a ham and cheese sandwich bro
