Appreciation post: My entire batch of pickles turned to mush last month. Figured out it was the wrong vinegar.

Ugh, that's the worst. My grandma's bread and butter pickle recipe is foolproof, but one time I grabbed "cleaning vinegar" by mistake from the basement shelf. The whole jar smelled like a science project and the cucumbers turned into slimy, see-through ghosts. I had to throw out two quarts. Now I keep the cooking vinegar on a totally different shelf.

My aunt's basement pickles got ruined by paint thinner once.
