How can you tell the difference between salt or sugar?

One is sweet and the other is salty. Other than that, white granulated sugar actually looks different from salt. If you ever look carefully at the two, it's noticeable that one is more fine than the other. I think that if you taste both of them, salt has a salty taste then sugar and sugar has a sweeter factor than salt. If you have a good sight of eyes then sugar is a little lighter than salt, or if you have a microscope then check what it looks like. Sometimes, the salt is different colour from suger(like brown sugar). Sugar also attracts insects, but salt wouldn't attract insects.
