There are apparently people who have been using black hair sheen to cook. For real.
A London-based student named Coral brought attention to the phenomenon in a tweet that went viral this week. While attending a barbecue at a friend's house, the 20-year-old came across a spray bottle of ORS Oil Sheen Spray curiously placed in a kitchen cabinet:

According to BuzzFeed, when Coral confronted her friend about using the hair sheen as cooking spray, he was in complete denial and insisted that the spray was just olive oil.
Why is the oil sheen next to the cooking oil....only wal mart in huntsville http://t.co/6y4IlKV

And while this tweet from 2011 above highlights the fact that some grocery stores may mistakenly place olive oil sheen in the cooking aisle (thus possibly confusing shoppers), Black Twitter's reaction to the mix-up was still gold:
ARE WHITE PPL REALLY USING OLIVE OIL SHEEN SPRAY AS COOKING OIL?! ππ IS THIS REAL LIFE? HOWWWW?!
