It was also written very small on the bottle that “ minerals were added to enhance taste” so my husband missed it. I hid the bottles of water- cant burn bec I live in a complex. Before Pesach we were allowed to burn the chometz in back of the shul in the complex. |
There's nothing to burn as it's not actual chometz (and water doesn't burn). You could have put it away for pesach and then opened the cabinet and enjoyed it after pesach.

Are they serving themselves chometz cereal? Or just using year round bowls? I wasn't sure from your post. Maybe set out bowls and spoons on the table before you go to sleep so they don't go looking for utensils.

One year we were invited put for seder, and our hosts bought small gifts for all the attendees to present to them at some point during magid. We're talking dollar-store type tchotchkes, mostly to keep the children engaged, but while she was at it, she bought trinkets for the adults too.
One of her daughters, who had a major exam scheduled post-Pesach, was given a little rubbery "stress ball." She exclaimed, "Ooh boy, I really need this. I.am.so.STRESSED!" and she smashed it flat with her fist.
Poof!
It exploded and white powder went flying all over the seder table, all over the daughter and anyone sitting near her, all over the fine Pesach bone china. We sat in shock. It was cornflour. Did it contain any chametz? Maybe it was just pure cornflour, pure kitniyot? We had no idea what to do.
We gathered up all the exposed dishes and put them in a box and used paper plates, we all changed clothes (luckily we lived around the corner), gathered up the tablecloth by the 4 corners and put everything away until we could assess the situation. The hosts put out a fresh tablecloth, we scrounged together a fresh seder plate, and continued. I never knew what happened to dishes.

Anyway this Easter and pessach was at the same time and they had heard about pessach lamb so they brought this cake as a gift. Which was really sweet but we had to tell them to take it back home... I will bake challah for them next week to make it up to them  |
Off topic, but Easter always is celebrated around Pesach time lehavdil....
Latin word is "Pascha"....

I hid the water bottles out of sight for after Pesach. Is this allowed? I thought you cant look at chametz on Pesach so I hid them with a towel.

Minerals should not be chometz just not allowed for pesach. You shouldn't have it visible so no consumption mistakes should happen.

At most it’s kitniyos. You can just put it away for after pesach.
If it was chametz you could destroy also by flushing down toilet. But I don’t think this is chametz.

I am starting to realize that other people can make an unintentional error on Pesach. In general I am not good with things that are so detailed but I do my best

We were just at a science museum, and my baby was crawling on the floor near my seat as I watched a wildlife video, I saw something on the floor, picked him up and fished a cheerio out of his mouth.

This is one of the coolest and funniest stories ever, and I loved the POOF font effect.
I think you might be the winner of this thread!

I agree. While I commiserated with most other posts,I laughed out loud at that one and had to read it to ds who was nearby.

This yr I bought some yogurt in the pesach section of a supermarket which said “ kosher for Passover”. I gave my grandson the yogurt and he only took one spoonful and no more. I looked at the yogurt and low and behold there was no kosher for Passover sign!! I went thru all my yogurts and all but 3 had the sign. I called the kosher super market to report the incidence. The owner was quiet and then thanked me for alerting her to this error. |
We found KFP on the EXP stamp

Years ago at my parents Seder they had invited our Jewish babysitter - an older lady but totally unaffiliated - in middle of the Seder she announces oh I forgot to give the kids the treats I bought at the kosher grocery - and pulls out a package of chometz wafers! Was very awkward as we had to explain...

Alright, I'm here to bare my shame:
I keep my baking goods in orderly containers at the top of the fridge, so I can use them with ease. Today, on Shabbat, I turned one of the containers around and... Saw yeast. A lot of yeast. Nearly a kilo in total.
I haven't a CLUE how I missed LITERAL CHAMETZ IN MY FRIDGE when I cleaned it out for pesach, but there it was. Me and DH did the fridge together while the kids were napping one day, so I guess it fell between the cracks as we sorted through the products. When I was freaking out today, he didn't understand why - he didn't realize that dried yeast is chametz gamur. So maybe that's how the mistake happened.
I'm shaking. I feel like it's a sign that I didn't do a proper cheshbon hanefesh this year. I'm doing a lot of soul searching now!
