My mom did the opposite once. Used cinnamon instead of chili powder in chili. Like all cinnamon, no chili powder. She had a sinus infection and didn't notice the smell, but saw the empty bottle of cinnamon in the trash that was supposed to be chili powder. Luckily the chili was for a bunch of drunk men tailgating at a Skin's game and they never noticed.Almost dumped chili powder in the mix for French toast instead of cinnamon.
Need more coffee.
