Books have been written about it. Songs have been sung about it. Wars have been fought over it.

Salt is a magical compound that enlivens vegetables and meats. It lowers the freezing point of ice and raises the boiling point of water. People use it in their soups and on their driveways. What can’t salt do? Apparently, it can’t penetrate the Campfire pantry.
Here at 62 White Street, it’s been weeks since we’ve had a salted chip, even longer since we tasted a salted pretzel. Just minutes ago, I caught Mike Monello dousing a walnut with saline solution just to give it some flavor. This is true insanity. Send help (or soy sauce)!
I’m begging you, Orderer of the Fresh Direct: please please bring back the salt!
