How you know it is done

Scene 11 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. The pickles are soggy. They were cut too thin, or they sat in brine for days. Cut matchsticks and use them within 3 days. They taste like plain vinegar. The sugar did not dissolve, or you did not pour off the salty water and the brine was diluted. Warm the water and stir until the sugar is gone.
