Reminds me of the time my aunt visited for the first time in years and put a heaping spoonful of grilling salt in her coffee. My dad loved to grill and kept a big jar of salt on the counter for that with a spoon in it. My aunt visited and after making coffee assumed it was sugar and mixed a spoonful into her coffee and got a huge surprise when she drank her cup of salt.

My family has a similar story. My great aunt kept her salt in the sugar shaker for some odd reason, so when my mom made a cup of coffee for my grandpa at great aunt's house, mom dumped in his usual portion of "sugar" from the shaker. Grandpa took a big gulp, spat it out, and (jokingly) accused my mom of trying to poison him. They went back to the kitchen and figured out that it was salt in the shaker.

He also quietly never let her make him a cup of coffee again for the rest of his life.
