The producers of Orange Is The New Black have found out the hard way that continuity errors will not be tolerated by fans, and so when one was brought to their attention, they took action to correct it.

In the newest season of the show, there is a scene where Maritza and Flaca are recording a makeup tutorial for their YouTube Channel using "household" items, or in their case, items that they can find in jail.

While explaining a specific technique, Maritza says she would use a MAC Pro Palette and a No. 19 fan brush on the outside, but then shows viewers how to achieve the same look without those options.

"In here, I use three spices that you can find in any kitchen," Maritza says, looking into the camera. She then goes on to list cinnamon, cumin and Sazón Goya as the items she uses.

Here's where fans took issue — when you watch the scene, Maritza grabs Sazón Goya instead of Goya Adobo.

This did not sit well with some fans of the show. Taking to social media, they let their dissatisfaction be known.

One person wrote, "Why did she say Sazón Goya when pointing at Adobo Goya … I didn't see any Sazón in the scene … triggered."

Another said, "It's ADOBO!!!! How the hell do you get the Latina to screw that up?!"

For those unfamiliar with the seasonings, the Goya website defines Adobo spice as being made of "garlic, oregano, black pepper and 'Latin spices.' " They define Sazón as being made of "coriander, garlic, cumin, and annatto."

To make good on their mistake, Netflix re-edited the scene and digitally imposed a box of Sazón over where the Adobo canister was, dubbing it the "Abuela's Cut" of the scene.

This brought them back into the good graces of fans once again, as one social media user wrote, "Yaaaas! ... A) idk how they missed that. B) idk how more people didn't notice."
