has been at its flavorful peak for 250 million years, and, that peak flavor will begin to fade, starting on June 20, 2022. If you can tolerate a decrease in flavorfulness of 1/250,00,000, given the 1 year time since the Best By date, then you should do just fine.

With "healing properties" no less.

There's mined flake salt, sea salt, and salt baked at 1200 degrees so it pours and digests like glass.

I wonder if there's any fake pink salt? Because I thought the company in NJ had an exclusive import license, and here you are with Florida pink. Is it flavored with grapefruit? Is it crossdressing salt?

Rubbing salt in the wounds of 'old-salt', 'salt-of-the-earth', humans.

of many a science fiction novel. Logan's Run comes to mind, but I know that there are others.
