    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 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

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

              It’s still a different vinegar, that shouldn’t be kept with food

                Totally agree on that point. I took it more to mean it could be fatal if someone went to refill a jar of vinegar with bleach (or vice versa) since mixing the two creates chlorine gas which can be fatal.

            Restaurants absolutely shouldn’t.

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

    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!

          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.

      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?

    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.
