So I decided to take a hot bath tonight before bed. The other day I bought a bunch of single-serving packets of scented bath salts that were on sale. I picked Lavender-Vanilla. So while the tubs filling I open the packet, pour the powder in the tub, and get in. Once the tub’s filled I noticed that it didn’t smell very lavendery or vanillay. It smelled more like garlic. So I got out of the tub and took the empty packet out of the bin. It was Spicy Guacamole Mix! :smack: I didn’t finish the bath. In retrospect it probally wasn’t a good idea to keep them all in the same cupboard. Still, it was much less disgusting than the time I made a chocolate banana smoothie with taco seasoning intead of chocolate powder. ---

May I suggest attending a presbyopics anonymous meeting. I understand that you don’t need reading glasses and that you can see fine print just as well as ever. Just humor me and go to one meeting. They’ll have free coffee and pastries. 🙂 😉 ---

Well, I sure hope you [didn’t let it go to waste](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=576748). Strain it out of the bath water and find some avocados!!! ---

If your home were a spa you could have charged hundreds of dollars for the “cleansing, rejuvenating, and exfoliating powers” of your spicy guacamole bath. Talk about missed opportunities. ---

On the bright side, right about then you probably would have gone very well with a frozen margarita…
