It All Comes Out In The (Egg) Wash

I work in a local cafe. We had a particularly busy lunch rush and ran out of several pastries, so I am in the back making more. One of my coworkers passes by and stops to stare in bewilderment as I spray the bear claws with egg wash.

Coworker: “Remind me not to eat the bear claws.”

Me: *Thoroughly confused* “Uh, why not?”

He takes a closer look at the egg wash bottle and starts laughing.

Coworker: “Oh, man, I thought you were spraying chemicals on them!”

I started laughing, too. Granted, the egg wash looks similar to the bottled cleaners we have, but it is about half their size, is a completely different color, and has “Egg Wash” written on it in big black letters. Even without all that, why would anyone think that someone would spray chemicals on the food? The egg wash isn’t even stored anywhere near the chemicals.
