Salt?

I accidentally did something stupid this afternoon. I chose to purchase lunch from the college; for my meal I ate a bowl of chips (fries). This, however, is not the stupid part.

The stupid part was when I added what I thought was salt to my chips. I sprinkled a generous amount of "salt" to my meal and then sat down to enjoy it; after a couple of bites, I wondered why there was an odd taste to my food. I then realised that I'd added sugar to it.

In my defence, the sugar crystals, which looked exactly like salt, were in a salt shaker, so you can imagine my surprise when my chips tasted sweet! Regardless, I still ate them as I dislike wasting food; besides, they still tasted okay.
