Great Moments in Japan

About 10 minutes ago I had just come downstairs to silence the whistling tea kettle and enjoy a nice cup of sweetened green tea. I put the water over the tea leaves, let it sit for a few minutes, poured it into the cup and added sugar. I took the first sip, ready to enjoy the tea. But intstead of being nice and sweet it was gross and salty! I immediatly spit it out, it was digusting. Instead of putting in sugar I had put in salt. It's not even that I reached for the wrong white granulated substance - I bought the wrong white granulated substance! The funny thing is, I've successfully purchased sugar before, but I've never bought salt. Well, now I guess I have.
