Hello! I am new to this web site and am hoping that someone can help me. The only way I feel I can explain what is happening is to say that my sugar keeps turning into salt. Rather it is getting a very salt like flavor to it. It has now happened 2 times. The first time it happened I had added some sugar from a large bag that is in an air tight container into a smaller container for my coffee. When I tasted my coffee in the morning, it tasted funny, so I checked the sugar, and it was "salt". My husband tasted the sugar in the small container and agreed with me. He checked the large container and said that the sugar in there was still allright. When I made cereal for my son this morning I got his sugar from the large container (I threw the other stuff away)and added it. He started to complain that his cereal tasted funny, so I checked the container and it had happened again!!! SALT!!! What the freak is going on?!?!?!?!

Maybe it's Jesus's half brother, sneaking into the house and turning sugar into salt like Jesus turned water into wine.

First off, welcome to the forum!

Wow, that is definitely an odd story. Probably one of those things you will never figure out either! LOL...... I looked on the internet to see if sugar ever went "bad" to see if maybe that was your cause, but it doesn't. If it gets damp, it will cake up a bit. I don't know what to tell you, unless someone is either playing an elaborate joke on you, or maybe you bought salt thinking it was sugar. I have done stuff like that PLENTY of times!

Good luck!

Salt doesn't have the same chemical/crystalline make up, you'd have to at least get a sample and compare the 'mutated' sugar grain with a normal salt grain. & get a microscope. It is hard to work with that if all you have is anectdotal evidence of course. You need samples...

You husband... or possibly kid/s is playing a joke on you. Simple as that. "Occam's Razor"... Yawn now close this thread.

Strange, a joke or an error, i have made a milkshake with salt one day thinking it was sugar... it taste bad so i was thinking that i have done it with to mutch vanilla and add more milk and sugar(salt) to reajust...

I Just figured that the sugar was in fact salt when i discover that i have two big identical container for salt and sugar...

I would say check your containers. Maybe they're leaking something into your sugar (like rust or something).

The chemical formula for table salt is NaCl, or sodium and chlorine. Table sugar (sucrose) is C12 H22 O11, or carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Short of alchemy, I agree that you are being hoaxed.

If her Husband and children are being effected from the sugar turning into "salt" than who is really playing the "hoax" on her

Salt doesnt scare spirit and witch???

That was what I wanted to say, except the hoax part. There's no way it's a hoax if she went all that way to post it. So, to treat it like a phenominon or paranormality - wouldn't be like some 'hoax' related thing. Sugar and salt are two extremely different chemicals. How does it go all that way from sugar to salt? It's just too weird, I mean, for what it's worth get a chem test going or interrogate the hell out of the family right??

Do a test. Take a container and place it on the counter, and with the whole family present, fill that container with sugar.

Take the family out and check the container when you all get back.

If it's salt, then you have the answer that it's not a family member (and some strange chit going on). If it's still sugar, then you have a made a mistake where what you thought you had put on the foods was sugar was actually salt.
