    I’m guessing sugar left, salt right. The non-cubic forms on the left makes me think it can’t be something as simple as NaCl.

    I agree with Ema, sugar left. Plus I assume sugar will make bigger crystals as a larger, more complex molecule?

    It is sugar on the left! And I agree with Ema’s reasoning.
