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:

Now imagine the spaces between the individual lines of text being wayy smaller
Y'all are blind.
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.
You seem to be implying that you put nutmeg in mashed potatoes as a matter of routine.
Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It's subtle though. It's often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven't added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?
I most certainly do!

I've never used cinnamon on my potatoes, but I add it to some savory dishes like chill. The key is, cinnamon cuts through, so you need veeeeeeeery little.
on the other hand, apple pie with cinnamon AND cayenne sounds tasty …
Spicy sweets is my favourite food genre that isn't taken seriously enough. Try it.
Maaaaaaaaaan, I was high af making some rice. Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I got the first two, but unfortunately got cumin instead of cinnamon. Even high I couldn't finish it.
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?
I eat rice like oatmeal in the mornings when I have leftovers. Butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some condensed milk is heavenly.
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.
Well, that seasoning is somewhat special. However, a spoon of cumin at least doesn't make you cry.
This fucked me up once. Raviolis with cinnamon is NOT nice. 💔
Cajun Apple Pie
Cajun style
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.
My GF in college made me a coffee and put in salt instead of sugar. Three Spoons Full!!! I spit it across the room...
You wouldn't think it was good, but Tibetans drink salty, buttery tea and it's delicious.

I only had it with yak butter once, but it didn't make a huge difference to my Western taste buds.
I didn't notice the title at first and thought this was about shrinkflation. One is 69g and the other is 82g.
Cayenne dense!
Also canelle is pretty labor intensive to harvest.
I literally made this mistake 3 weeks ago. Worst oatmeal ever.
Hah, I can absolutely see myself doing this if we didnt keep our "baking" spices and related ingredients in a different cupboard.
I sprinkled cayenne in my Chai once. Spicy Chai can be good. This one was not.
I swapped garlic instead of ginger in my chai by accident. Never thought I'd be mad at garlic.
My cardamom jar is identical to my white pepper.
My wife has enough variety of spices that I have to read the labels every time I grab spices to add to anything
Done that. Don't recommend.
I imagine American Pie would have had a far more interesting scene if this played out there ...
"It's called 'cinnamon', Karen."
oof
This is too much spice for the crackers here.
