Alpro soya cream and Alpro strawberry milk have very similar packaging. On a related note, courgette pasta with strawberry sauce is not nice.

We have oil and vinegar coming in the same shape plastic bottles. Originally, vinegar had a red cap, sunflower oil a yellow one, and rapeseed oil a green one. Then some idiot decided to save 1/10 cent and gave vinegar the same green cap as the oil.

I had the large stainless steel pan heated up really hot, so that a few drops of water happily run around it on a steam cushion and evaporated quickly. And then I wanted to pour in a good helping of oil...

I once used a glue stick instead of chapstick. They were both on my desk.

I've mixed up and put muscle pain relief cream on my face thinking it was sunscreen. Damn that burned around the eyes for a while even after washing and washing ...

Coffee with milk on cereal still tastes good though. Don't ask me how I know.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 4 points 2 hours ago

So does orange juice on cereal.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 3 hours ago

How do you know this?

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

En France you can get a massive bowl or cup of milky coffee for dipping

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It better be massive if I'm gonna take a dip in it

Bienvenue chez Café Cléo

OK, relatable.

Except for one thing: the typical minty smell of toothpaste.

That's why I don't think this would happen to me.

Except with a stuffy nose I guess.

In my teen ages, I once mixed up toothpaste and my father's denture glue, and been very careful with checking the tube ever since

Ever almost smoke a wasp abdomen after confusing it for a dropped nug?

My sister put her socks on the TV and the remote in the hamper when she came home drunk and watched some TV before going to sleep.

I'm more of a "throwing away the good parts and put the peels and cuts in the pan" person.

And? Is your face lotion poisonous or something?

[–] Azteh@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

It could also be that they smeared toothpaste all over their face

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 minutes ago (1 children)

This was actually touted as an acne remedy at one point. I tried it when I was a teenager, it does take care of the oil buildup and dry you out, but you also feel like you can taste mint with your forehead.

[–] Azteh@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

That sounds like an interesting side effect

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 2 points 49 minutes ago

That’s what I like to picture haha

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think there might be problems tastewise

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

Mom: Don't eat toothpaste, you assheaded foulbrained cheeseeating sorry excuse for a child!
Kid: That's not toothpaste. It is face lotion, dumb mom!

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

No. Liquid with breakfast cereals grosses me out (I puked a couple of times as a kid with milk and cereal, once very young and once around 7 or 8).

[–] Azteh@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Any particular reason for that? It seems to be quite the common choice for breakfast

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Puking twice was enough to turn me off. I liked them just fine dry.

[–] Azteh@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

Which is perfectly fine
