When there simply are no words for situational folly, Black Twitter always comes through in 140 characters or less. Coral, a London-based student, tells BuzzFeed how she discovered that her friend had been mistaking sheen oil for cooking olive oil.
While attending a BBQ at a friend’s house, the 20-year-old Brit noticed something peculiar in her friend’s kitchen.

Black Twitter Celebrates #BlackOutDay
Coral learns that night, that her friend had been using ORS Oil Sheen Spray as a cooking spray. Needless to say, it went viral when friend Roisin tweeted the message Coral had sent of the incident, and the reactions are exactly what you would expect:
Using sheen spray as cooking oil .. please don't let my grandma hear this, it'll be her thesis statement on "DON'T EAT AT OTHER FOLKS HOUSE"

Special PSA to my great friends: ORS Olive Oil Hair Sheen is kinda flammable, probably toxic. Not for your eggs. https://t.co/HcnRfAqrgp

The photo of the sheen spray incorrectly merchandised in the cooking aisle of a Walmart could be the explanation for Coral’s friend’s confusion.
