salty donuts anyone?

a colleague of mine had a ridiculous thing happen to him this morning. his wife had bought 2 sugar-coated donuts, one for each of them. so he brings his breakfast of a donut to the pantry and starts to take his first bite. then he started giving us this weird facial expression. it wasn't exactly anything about being unhygienic, having queer additional ingredients to the confectionery though. so he asked me to try. i nipped a very small piece and ate it...

OHMYGOODNESS!!! it was super strange alright. it was freaking salty! as it'd turned out, the shop assistant had sprinkled salt instead of sugar over the donuts to coat them. and because most of the salt crystals had melted by now, the donut was practically "marinated" in the salt so much, it tasted like chewing down on seawater. yes, it was THAT salty. not a hint of sweetness, just plain saltiness. talk about chocolate salty balls man!

after that he gave a call to his wife to warn her not to eat hers, especially since she's pregnant. so the wife heads down to the shop for an exchange. the moment she stepped in, the shop attendant immediately apologised profusely without her even having to say anything. the assistant who was in charge of sprinkling sugar on the confectionery, that was delivered to them without the sugar-coating, had sprinkled salt on HER donuts instead of sugar. they then realised afterwards when they were continuing their mass production that there was a mistake! but my colleague's wife was already long gone...

the amount of saltiness was unimaginable seriously! ughhhh!!!
