...leave instant coffee granules in the sugar bowl? They just lay there like mouse turds contaminating the sugar so that us normal tea drinking people can't use it. And how did it get in there? They must have coffeed then sugared, but the coffee must have stuck to the spoon somehow for the sugar to get infected. How did it stick to the spoon? How? I'll tell you how! The spoon was damp!! That's right, a damp spoon transmitted coffee waste and any other bacteria that happened to be living in the stagnant spoon water at the time into the good honest and decent sugar that I wanted to use. These people are evil and must be stopped.
