It tastes better if you put a little salt on it.
HiWorld
I bet you’re salty
humanhamburger
exp dates are frequently fabricated by producers to move more product

100% uncontaminated?
MapedMod
What are the odds?!
SergTTL
obvious photoshop
vindik8or
"100% uncontaminated" ie, fucken riddled with contaminants.

this boring nonsense repost is proof there are only a finite amount of memes to circle through...
fromcarlseyes
That’s a best before date, not a use by date, you can save a ton of money just by knowing that
Uzernaime
That’s some beautiful regulations at work there.

Fun fact: the NaCl in any kind of salt is exactly the same stuff. It's the impurities, such as fish shit in sea salt, that produce flavors.
massdefect3
I believe sea salt has a higher concentration of salts other than NaCl compared to table salt, but idk if that contributes to the taste.
imn0tg00d
I got a bottle of salt that said "non-GMO certified". Like of course its non-GMO, I would be pissed if there were any organisms at all in it
theredacted
I love the gluten free sign stuff that obviously isn’t gluten. Like lettuce or something like that yes I realize lettuce doesn’t have wheat

If an product changes its properties even in a slightly way, it has an expiry date. It doesn't necessarily mean it can t be consumed.
Xenarion
Any food has an expiration date due to laws.
fearthescarecrow
Trust me, they been postponing that expiry date to sell that salt
Retromorphic
But for how long?
MexicanTacoGuy
Shhh. What else are we going to do with all the salt expiring soon.
nonCanadianGoose
Is it at least organic?
Ketheres
No, salt is an inorganic substance.
CaptainDeadpool
It's free range, and gluten free
Talligan
By definition, no.
nonCanadianGoose
It’s ridiculous how many salt packages have organic on them
WhitePoetWarlord
is this that pink Himalayan salt that's all the rage?
grandmathinksimsatan
Made the mistake of thinking it was sugar for tea. Never again
RiverBear
People put it like on shelves in rooms to make things like more “zen” I shit you not, it’s actually a thing.
BritaThePurifier
I was putting that on watermelon this summer. That shit was fucking bomb.
walkingbread88
Given that its sea salt, nope
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
It tastes of salt.
Smayds
We make this by buying old salt lamps at charity stores and grating them up. Very tangy.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
Free musk of dust and nicotine.
LucatielofMirrah
Smoked salt is better
lollyvance
Agreed. Love Maldon smoked salt crystals!
Adjusterrr
Different salts, different uses!
reverendbonobo
I've never smoked salt. I can't get it lit.
BarbedWireCatheter
Only bath salts amirite?
DiabeticDolphin
It contains more minerals which adds flavor.

JustSomeGuyNamedScott
Depends. Is it the pink salt that is just salt or the pink salt that tastes like boiled eggs? Both are pretty good.
WhispererInDorkness
Kalanamak is grey though, isn't it?
JustSomeGuyNamedScott
Yeah but it can be dyed pink I think. That's how it's sold on Amazon anyway.
myejunke
What's the pink salt that tastes like boiled eggs?
JustSomeGuyNamedScott
Apparently it's called Kala Namak. It's black salt but on Amazon it's sold pink.
usernamehidden
I bought black salt on a whim- was not expecting the eggy taste ?
BassClefChef
Fun Fact: Kala Namak means "Black Salt" in Hindi.
JustSomeGuyNamedScott
WELL that makes sense lol
Deletethisonemods
It’s the plastic it’s stored in that’s the problem. Put it in a glass or steel container
SnipinG1337
Just keep it in your pocket so you always got some salt with you
MOTHERFUCKINGVIRGINMARY
I thought the problem with plastic was that it doesn't degrade?
KW1984
It's marked because it absorbs moisture and odors from the air and that changes the flavor. Science.
MalthusAndreusDrake
actually best before dates are mostly entirely bullshit and have little to no baring on when the food actually goes bad.
TheGuilty
ScottaHemi
put salt... in a steel container???
Happenstances
250 million year old salt, at that!
Barkinsons
The plastic is not the problem. It's the bureaucracy. They are simply obliged to print an expiration date on edibles
override367
most things go bad long after the actual date
valen00
Then it would be entirely feasible to put a date a few million years in the future on it
Barkinsons
No, the lawyers don't like that
QuackQuackAttack
Why is the plastic a problem?
eddyfinnso
Plastic breaks down over time, thus contaminating the food/salt.
TrogdorTheBurninateur
Not that fast. Pretty confident it's due to rates of bacterial growth
QuackQuackAttack
So do they not biodegrade for 500,000 years in our landfill, or do they break down in 1 year?
eddyfinnso
They are still have the original molecular structure. They're just smaller pieces of the same plastic. Breaking down not biodegrading.
nonCanadianGoose
Glass or ceramic. Metals are iffy with salt
malbec
Corroded you say that a different way?
Eaglemk4
Well rust be sure I won't use medal to store my salt
nonCanadianGoose
I have a titanium salt box, but I tend to be extra with my food. Not something you could expect others to get
SmilingPolitely
Try two golden medals
AncientSeraph
Did you mean "rust assured"?
AlpacaMyBagsAndGo
Must have been a frying pan slip
Eaglemk4
Damnit lol
Rifneno
The law is a problem too. Everything edible MUST have an expiration date, even if it doesn't expire.
MalthusAndreusDrake
nah it's not a law, it's just producers getting people to throw away more food so they can sell more.
apparentlyimnotasnail
In the USA expiration dates are mostly made up http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/body/food-expiration-dates/
Usernamedies
My ex worked at a factory that ships food. Shelf and refrigerated. They are told to switch the expiration dates but not to get caught.
myimor
That isn't true.Infant formula is the only thing required to have an expiry date by the FDA, unless you're talking about a different law/reg
Ijustwanttobememe
Talking about a country Not the USA
Domehammer
That explains why maple syrup lasts for eons...
drainbamage1011
Maple syrup and honey have such a high sugar-to-water ratio that bacterial growth is extremely low, so a nearly indefinite shelf life.
deafmute
Not sure about syrup, but honey won't expire.
squirrelgirl86
Maple syrup develops these weird floaties in it after a while, but you can skim it off and reboil it and it's safe to eat.
Somanyquestions
Here there is no law except for baby food. It's 100% up to producers or retailers to put a date, which they do to sell more.
theredacted
Here?
IfyouGOchasingrabbits
Only Americans assume everyone on the internet is American.
theredacted
I wasn’t assuming anything I was just asking where here was maybe it was implied but I didn’t catch it
