And now that I've made an enormous pot of coffee for all our guests with this SO stuff, not to mention ruining a week's supply of oatmeal, I will creep away from our rental kitchen in Belgrade with my tail between my legs.
Just when you think you're getting the hang of things....
Experiences of an American woman who was married to a Serb.

HAHAHA! Brilliant, I bet that was a fine tasting round of drinks!!
I've made that mistake in rentals more often than I care to remember. I finally learned to do a taste test before using anything, in or out of a box, that I didn't purchase myself.
Oh, Rosemary...! My husband and I had a good giggle over that - I can SO see myself doing the same! Erm. No pun intended?
Ha! You can just pretend it's an early April Fool's joke. I did that one year to my mom when I was in junior high--switched the salt and the sugar jars. Of course it was the one day that my perpetual-baking mom decided not to cook or bake. You see? It's simply an opportunity to teach Američki April Fool's humor.
Okay, what does SO stand for. We non-Serbs need to know this in order to understand how badly you screwed up.

SO is salt :-)
To the layman "SO" would sensibly seem to be the "symbol" for SOdium. Glad I learned my periodic table and its proper symbol "Na".
That said, having cafes regularly mix salt/sugar in their containers, caused me to stop using any sweetener for my coffee.
