Reminds me of my own mistaken cheese story.
I was small, Mum had just cleaned out the old soap from the dishwasher and gone upstairs for something and left it on the sideboard. It looked and smelled exactly like roquefort (very strong French blue cheese, for those not in the know), which I knew there was a block of in the fridge .
Me being addicted to said cheese from a young age, I decided to be greedy and sneaky and snarfed a piece of the smelly goodness from the tin foil that it was resting on. It tasted... different, but still ok.
I only realised that something was dead wrong when I started foaming at the mouth around five seconds later. It took ten minutes to stop, with my mother alternatively in hysterics and worried to death as she washed my mouth out...god knows why, with all that soap it was clean enough already...
Needless to say I still haven't heard the end of that one...
Just goes to show how easy it is to mistake cheese for stuff. What's next, someone mistaking cheese for C4?
Hmm, cheese or C4?
