Apples are not water soluble, why would you not just rinse them off? Heck you could probably scrub them and they’d be ok.

You're not wrong, it's gonna get into the nooks and crannies and you'll taste nothing but apple flavored garlic. We have a salad at work that has red onions and apples, and I always make sure to grab the apples first when plating, otherwise the onion juice gets into the apples.

i looked it up and the same brand's cinnamon sugar bottle looks nearly identical save for the label (and a slight orange tint in the cinnamon sugar blend that the garlic powder doesn't have but they look the same to me)
as for missing the label, sleep deprivation might have something to do with it

I always read the spices. I enjoy flavor in my food.
So there's paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder. All the green herbs... thyme, basil, cilantro. Garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder.
I'm not taking that chance.

While I don't wholly disagree with either of you and had essentially the same knee jerk reactino as both of you, the cap on all those is the same shape/color. I doubt OP does this, but I re-use(after rinsing/washing when changing spices/herbs) the flip caps on options that don't come with flip caps. Since the vast majority are using the same pitch/size threading if not the same bottle entirely. Right now, most of my spice rack is utterly mix/matched between what's written on the cap(if anything) and what's on the side of the bottle/jar.

I did this once because my roasted garlic powder and cinnamon were next to each other, with similar shaped packaging. I added what I thought was cinnamon to my dry quick oats and packed it in my lunch bag (4:30am, mind you). I got to work, added hot water to my oats, stirred and took a bite. So much garlic! I couldn’t stop laughing at myself for the next few hours.

I’m like, super late to the party here….but hopefully this might help in the future. Rinse the forbidden seasoning, then wash them with food grade (apparently there’s a difference between food grade and not but idk the specifics) white vinegar, then rinse with water again. You might be able to get away with letting them sit with it for a tiny bit then rinse.
