Nearly ruined dinner with a baking soda mix-up

I was making a batch of biscuits last Tuesday and grabbed a box from the cabinet without looking. Turned out it was baking soda, not powder, and my dough started bubbling like crazy on the counter. I caught it after mixing in a cup of buttermilk and had to toss the whole thing because it tasted metallic. Now I keep them in different containers with big labels so I don't make that mistake again. Has anyone else had a baking mix-up that wrecked a whole meal?

Question whether it's really that serious @jordan330 - yeah the taste is bad but tossing a whole batch seems extra, I've eaten worse baking mistakes and survived fine.

Did that metallic taste come through pretty strong right away?

Yeah that metallic taste hits you right away, almost like licking a battery. I remember the first time I tried one and I was like whoa that's a lot.
