    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.

      Here’s a personal example:

    One time I swapped the cayenne and chili pepper amounts in a recipe and it became inedible.

          I don’t really understand, isn’t cayenne powder a subtype of chili powder? (cayenne being a chili pepper)’

          I’m not a native English speaker, so I’m very much taking this as a learning opportunity ^^

            Chili Powder is any type of chili peppers ground to a powder and it’s spicy but not overwhelmingly so

            Cayenne Powder is made specifically from Cayenne Peppers (which IS part of the chili family) which is generally MUCH spicier. Like 10x as spicy

      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.

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

    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.

      Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon.

      You wanted to add those things to rice? Is this a dessert recipe I’m unfamiliar with, or were you just so baked you were combining random ingredients?

        Half of cooking is combining random ingredients you think will work. Took the idea of rice pudding and wanted some cinnamon with it. Think between cinnamon toast and rice pudding.

        I eat rice like oatmeal in the mornings when I have leftovers. Butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some condensed milk is heavenly.

          Exactly. I was going for rice pudding but cinnamon, and was low on ingredients. It’s actually pretty delicious if you don’t fuck up the spices hahah

      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.

    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 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.

    Hah, I can absolutely see myself doing this if we didnt keep our “baking” spices and related ingredients in a different cupboard.
