Dip a wet finger in the soda and scrub spots on dishes. Works great on tea rings, baked on spots on glassware, etc. Best of all it doesn't scratch!

I had the too-salty-to-eat problem one time with homemade biscuits I made at my mom's house. I discovered that she kept self-rising flour in her canister instead of the plain flour I kept in mine. After I used the self-rising flour, then added baking powder and salt the dog wouldn't even eat the biscuits! :-(

Check the expiration date on the container. Or......has someone been playing with the salt and sugar? When I was quite little I put salt in the sugar bowl and my uncle discovered it when he fixed his cup of coffee.

My late DH started all of us dating anything and everything we bought, especially in the food line. I just remembered that when we bought this microwave, I took lessons in using it!!! That is OLD, so it's now in the garage for our next Ewaste announcements.
Toss out all the stuff with a year ago's date, with the possible exception for whole black pepper, whole cloves and any other whole spices. Maybe check unopened cans/bottles for the correct odors, to see if they smell like what they're supposed to be.

And yes, they can become "old" ... and can prevent baked goods from rising in their normal manner.
