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.

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

    Never again

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

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

    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

    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.)

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

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

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

    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

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

    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!”

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

    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.
