Heads up, that fancy sourdough starter you got from a friend might be lying to you

Mine took 10 days to actually double because the friend told me it was ready on day three, and I wasted a whole weekend baking bricks before I figured out it needed way more feedings.

Did you see that article about how most store-bought starters are actually just commercial yeast in disguise? It makes sense why some take forever to actually get active.

Wait, is that actually true though? I mean, I've had store-bought starters that took off like crazy in just a couple days. They just felt like regular active cultures to me.

@blair_nguyen you got me, I always thought they were just lazy starters but this article changed my entire view on it.
