    A colleague of ours is not at work today and he's got a mostly empty creamer container. Being the jack@$$ that I am :-D I'm obviously going to substitute the contents of the container. Suggestions so far: flour & salt (flour won't dissolve though) Powdered Ginger Ground White Pepper Ground sugar. Any suggestions?

                  I dunno. You can't get much worse than creamer anyway. Anything else would be a bonus. Bob: Mustafa, thanks for substituting my creamer with anthrax spores. I never realised how awful creamer was until I tasted the bliss that was anthrax. *cough* Got a mild cough coming on *cough* Must have been all those years of creamer *hack* *cough* *cough*, thanks again. (If you must persist then how about baking soda?)

                    If you could get a bit of vinegar in such that it spills when he uses it... that would be great. Vinegar + baking soda = woosh! And wouldn't ginseng just make him think his coffee had extra kick today?

                        Hmmmm... I wonder, won't some kind of acid salt (dissolved in an aqueous solution) be a substitute for vinegar?

                                  But this isn't college and this is a PG board so I will keep them to myself. Actually, if you really want to go all out add real creamer + alum. It will be hard for him to detect why everything is going so wrong. (BTW, http://www.fda.gov/opacom/laws/fedatact.htm)

                                    Hehe, I was wondering when someone was going to ask me that. My official name is "Steven-Mustafa Ismail Mustafa". Steven-Mustafa being my first name, Ismail being my father's name and Mustafa being the Family name. If you're wondering why Steven is there, its because my mother is a Canadian and so am I :). Well, half and half (my other half is obviously Arab)

                                      A colleague of ours is not at work today and he's got a mostly empty creamer container. Being the jack@$$ that I am :-D I'm obviously going to substitute the contents of the container. Suggestions so far: flour & salt (flour won't dissolve though) Powdered Ginger Ground White Pepper Ground sugar. Any suggestions?

                                        Judging by your suggestions so far the "creamer" is actually that petroleum based powdered shit, if that's the case I don't really see what you can put in there that's any worse than that stuff. I suggest real cream just to freak him out.

                                          Fill the container with some form of sci-fi inverse reality serum. As he puts his hand in, the container morphs into an inverse world, with its own ecosystem and population. Remove the hand and the jar reverts to creamer. You could have a whole world in the container, heards of micro-wildebeast trapsing across the creamer looking for watering holes, their young, eager to drink from the cool water careless of the hidden croc that is always there. Just as the croc pounces, your mate puts in his hand, pierces the inverse reality envelope and the baby wildebeast grows teeth the size of a Toyota Micra, and the tables suddenly turn. This time it is the croc that is dragged kicking and screaming onto dry land, David Attenbrough hiding behind Kate Ade, commentating on the whole affair. He removes his hand and the tables turn once more. Out on dry land, the croc, whilst less stable suddendly gets the upper hand and the baby wildebeest attempts a retreat, only to get its feet stuck in the creamer where it got wet from the splashing of the croc as it was ripped from the water. A quick glance across the watering hole, and there is David Bowie, face painted slightly clown like, singing Ashes To Ashes. Your mate puts his hand in once more, and the inverse reality becomes sentient, and has a mind of it's own. No longer will it be kept in a creamer jar, it infuses itself into your mates arm, and his arm becomes a living world for the denizens of good and evil. Epic wars are fought, won and lost between his elbow and wrist. Years melt into millenia on the arm, as just a few seconds pass in yoru friends meagre life. The croc and the wildebeest are a distant memory.... That would be fun.
