I keep salt and sugar in identical bottles. A mistake was bound to happen, and it just did.

This is the worst batch of french toast i've ever made.

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.

  I would do an upside down S, less confusion

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

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

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!

  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.

- 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.)

FAFO

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

You put sugar on your French toast?

4
- 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

- In the batter. Eggs, milk, sugar.

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

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

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

You did this to yourself lol

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

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.

You accidentally used sugar? Sucks

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

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

- 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.

  Yeah that’s just a ham and cheese sandwich bro

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