    Deep Freeze cooling gel, Savlon Antiseptic Cream and Oral-B toothpaste all come in blue and white squeezy tubes, and all live on the same shelf in the bathroom.

    You’ve got to ask yourself one question - “Do I feel lucky?”

    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…

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

    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 …

    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.

    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.

    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).
