    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.

    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!

      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

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

          then I realized how old the reference is …

          …now I’m depressed

      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.

    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

      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

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

      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!”

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

      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.

    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.
