    My grandmother (who really was a good cook) once accidentally put salt in a dessert she made instead of sugar. I can’t remember what the dessert was, she made lots of them, but I remember biting into it.

      My GF in college made me a coffee and put in salt instead of sugar. Three Spoons Full!!! I spit it across the room…

    I imagine American Pie would have had a far more interesting scene if this played out there …

      If they’re not side-by-side then it may be harder to tell, but the smell should clue you in. If in doubt, just give it a taste.

      My dumb ex-spouse didn’t know the difference between a clove of garlic and a bulb. Recipe called for 1.5 cloves. We had lasagna with 1.5 bulbs.

        I wouldn’t even be mad. My favorite amount of garlic is “too much garlic”

        I couldn’t imagine having only one clove in a pasta sauce.

    Wife and I make our own taco seasoning, keep it in an empty jar just like the cayenne (same brand as the picture). During a taco night grabbed the wrong jar, dumped pure cayenne in … wasn’t so bad until it became aerosolized and maced the apartment

    My wife has done this. Grabbed a bottle of Penzy’s Northwood Seasoning instead of the cinnamon. That apple pie was… not so good.

      My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it’s fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.

      We’ve never let him live it down.

    I didn’t notice the title at first and thought this was about shrinkflation. One is 69g and the other is 82g.

    PSA: Cinnamon and nutmeg look identical, but cinnamon in your mashed potatoes tastes weirdly christmas-y. I tested it, sadly.

    The fact that the branding is larger than the informative label is fucked up. I wish capitalism would just fuck off.

      I feel that rage every time I have to check if the bottle on the shelf in the shower is conditioner or shampoo.

      Like who the fuck thinks this is OK.
