Review: This purchase makes the story of Lot's wife (found in the manual of Christmas) that much more insulting. I mean, at $0.47 for every 26 ounces of salt, a one hundred pound woman who had been turned into a pillar of salt would only be worth about $28.93. I know she suffered from an incurable curiosity, but free will was a gift, right?

Salt is one of those things I use nearly every day in the attempt to clog up my veins with a substance resembling yogurt. Rarely does my supply run out, though. Ubiquity is one of salt's strength here in America. In fact, any place you see a potato, you are destined to see a container of salt. There comes a time, however, when one must replenish even the most common of culinary resources. This was one of those times. I hadn't realized plain, un-iodized table salt was so inexpensive. The next time someone posits the question, 'what can you get for a dollar these days?' I am going to respond: "A shit load of salt!"

As for the salt itself, it tastes... well... salty. How do you describe one of the basic tastes? I prefer the texture of sea salt or kosher salt, but when it comes to dissolving salt in water or seasoning recipes, good old table salt is the way to go and this will do just fine.

Hooray for edible rocks!
