I stopped this when I once used soya sauce in a cake instead of vanilla

I grew up on a cattle ranch and when branding calves we would sometimes toss about a quart of kerosene on the bonfire to increase the fire heating the branding irons.

 Not the safest thing but the fire would heat up quickly. One day someone put gasoline in the clearly marked kerosene container.  When I tossed about a quart on the fire  --- well, it was a blast and I lost my eyebrows and eyelashes and some hair and it looked like I had a pretty good sunburn.

no, no, no.... that's sooo dangerous on many levels....

We are great re-users of containers around here, most of the time a piece of tape with a label is attached, other times it takes a peek under the cover to see what it hiding inside.

It is often disappointing when my mind is geared up for a late night bite of cottage cheese only to find that my wife has stashed something else in the container. 

Of course depending on the type of leftover, it can also be a pleasant surprise.

 No. I get too easily confused nowadays.

Good morning Richie. No, haven't made that mistake, but plenty of others.

Nope, I never put a product into a container labeled something else.  My engineer dad and accountant mom would have a fit

no - I don't do that for exactly that reason! 

I have in the past but lately I use clear generic containers that I can easily see through to what is inside. I have to keep it simple so i can figure it out.

Not that I can recall but it sounds like something I would do.

LMAO.  Why Richie I believe their may be a fun post behind this question.  Hopefully this was not food related.    Make it a great week and get that darn container properly labeled.  Mark

I did that last year.  Weed killer and fertilizer pellets. I threw it away.

Not yet, but as I get older, it is likely to happen.

No, I haven't done this.

Hmm, could lead to some interesting recipes! I use empty bottles for cleaning concoctions and sometimes don't label them, then have to sniff to figure out which is which (Dawn and vinegar or water and Clorox? and so on).

No.  I always label everything.  I agree with Barbara Todaro - that is so dangerous on so many levels. Thankfully, in your cases, it does not appear any harm was done.

Wife's dept......She is the IA, inventory attendent. Me-consumer....

I do not recall having done this. Be careful with your labels.

You sound like quite the stylish guy, Richie. 

Many times.  Especially when I've moved and gotten to the end of packing.

Richie,

No, it has not happened to us...A

I havent done that, but put the empty milk jug back in the fridge. 

Hubby put diesel fuel in one of my fryer oil containers and didn't label it. Nothing tastes better than diesel flavored fried chicken. 

Mind fog .... that's my answer.

Yes...it was a mess

All the time!

Sounds like a sitcom episode.

No but I bet it was funny!  Do you have pics of the setting gel?

Is Ginko Biloba in your future?

No I have not done that.

No - what Barbara Todaro said!

I was thought since childhood, never reuse a container.

As a result my garage is full of red Folgers containers who labeled dropped in one of the 140 Degree days the garage experiences. 

I KNOW there exists an assortment of cams and pegs I need to put that rocker back together. I am believing SHARPIES are the solution.

The milk containers in the garage; counting three and have no idea what I put in them!

Can't say that I have done this, because I know I would forget and get into trouble.

Not in my house, but in my girlfriends parents house you'll never know what you grab out of the fridge.
