It may not be so embarrassing since this happened while home alone, but I had oatmeal for breakfast, and I like to eat it with raisins, butter and brown sugar. But you know how brown sugar tends to dry out and become hard as a rock? Mine was getting to that point so I had to chisel it with a spoon and pour what came loose into my oatmeal. I picked the canister up and held it up over my bowl and the whole "brick" of brown sugar came out and fell into the bowl and, wouldn't you know it, it broke apart into a powder as if it were fresh. I scooped what I could out and back into the canister, but there wasn't much I could salvage. I rolled my eyes and looked at my bowl of oatmeal. Or rather, my bowl of brown sugar with oatmeal, raisins and butter.

It was a very sweet breakfast I had this morning.

Lol brown sugar is tricksy stuff. I keep a piece of terra cotta I soak periodically in water jammed into my cannister of brown sugar, it helps keep it from clumping.

I use a small hacksaw. Seriously.
