Go for it. Since saving that $8.7 mil on your electric bill you can
certainly afford it.

Sounds like the cream de la cream of PNW coffee snobs are upping the profligacy game for the true connoisseurs of caffeine? Of course, those $150 cups of "Joe", probably were made from magic coffee beans, that regular roast, bottom feeding, coffee addicts can only dream about.....

They are obviously magic beans. They got over $10K worth of free advertising for $2K worth of beans, and they're selling those beans as coffee for $3,300 with a little coffee left over. You could be like Charlie in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and win one of those leftover cups of coffee, if you just buy a few ounces of some other less expensive beans.

Those beans were imported from somewhere else. I saw a program last night about a fancy product that's produced right here in Oregon. That was yet more free advertising. We go by this place often when we're on the coast.. They're making gourmet salt from water they draw from Netarts bay. Netarts bay doesn't have any major streams flowing into it, so the salinity varies less than in our other bays. Their salt is supposed to be more pure than what you can buy in the supermarket. They also have all sorts of flavored salt. You can buy 4 ounces for as little as $15.

Every flake? Ok, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt - they didn't

but but but, plain ole Morton salt costs 21 cents for 4 oz. Is
Jacobsen flake sea salt literally 71.43 times better than POMS? And
look, so while my calculator was warmed up, I sorta, like, discovered

I sure hope those JFSS eaters are getting enough iodine, because

Profligacy truly matters! Jacobsen salt helps prevent goiter too, with a flavorful grace, and panache, that just can't be attained with those bargain budget brands of common sea salt!

Well, I couldn't find it - what percentage of the minimum daily
requirement of grace and panache does it contain per flake?

And you should be banned from RORT for posting disinformation.
----------------------------------------------------
We do not add iodine to any of our salts because we want to keep our
products as pure as possible.
---------------------------------------------------
So c'mon, look, here's the deal. There's literally practically no
iodine in JFSS, so at the end of the day going forward, it's
inefficacious in preventing goiter.
How much did they pay you to post that to try to get some of our
resident thyroid-disadvantaged wokees to buy some? I'll bet you're a
paid professional testimonialist? What other products are you posting
disinformation about? Expiring minds want to know.

And one more thing: If they "want to keep our products as pure as
possible", why are they "infusing" (contaminating) it with "flavors"?
You'd think that for $3.75/oz, they could at least forego the truffles
or cherrywood, and put in a little iodine?

hmmm, I sort of doubt that. His whole claim to fame is that it's very pure salt and tastes better because it doesn't have any of the trace minerals found in ordinary salt produced by mining very old sea salt. Iodine is added to table salt. It wasn't there when they dug it up. He has to filter his water a couple of times to make sure it doesn't have microplastics and other junk that's found in modern salt water.

So, I got to wondering. Lab grade salt is only guaranteed to be 95% pure. Well shit, that doesn't sound very good. You can by Reagent or ACS grade salt for $7 for 500 grams. That's well over 16 ounces. It's supposed to be around 99% pure, but it sounds like you might need some sort of professional credentials to buy it.

LOL Part of the beauty of Usenet is that no one can be truly banned for longer than it takes to find a new account. Disinformation is frequently rewarded with virtual gold stars. The wingnuts who are whinging about free speech seem to be totally unaware of its existence. This might be because it's hard to make a profit here, no matter what nonsense you're selling.

There may not be any infusion of iodine added by Jacobson's machines of loving grace, but, HTF can sea salt be iodineless? Do you believe every advertising claim, made by every product, especially a company peddling dubious $3.75 per oz salt? Just prezactly whom would you expect more honesty from, a mostly thoughtful fellow RORT poster, or some fly by night outfit, who wants to skin you out of 15 bucks for a two bit shaker of salt, hmmm?

If you're worried about your thinking skills you shouldn't get anywhere near this salt. This isn't your regular, back in the woods, salt. This is gourmet "finishing" salt. It's handmade and it's very pure. It has nice big white flakes, so you can't just throw it in your down home salt shaker. Did I mention that it's very pure and very white? He discovered this sort of salt when he was living in Scandinavia and was surprised that it's difficult to find here.

About the best GA can manage is The Beautiful Briny Sea in Atlanta. They have Magic Unicorn Sea Salt. Only $10 for 6.5 ounces. This probably doesn't have any added iodine either.

Yabut, by the time they get done with it it's magical salt. It obviously can be used to make money disappear. And you can impression your friends with your special salt. What more could you possibly expect salt to do?

but but but, I'm not into impressioning.

And at the end of the day going forward, the money doesn't disappear,
it just goes somewhere else. It's sorta like my hair. I thought it was
disappearing, but I was wrong - it's just moving to my eyebrows, ears,
and nose. When I literally hurt myself with my wire cutters, I had to
get something like this:

Well hell, Furry, you've only got to go in a quarter inch or so to
keep 'em from hanging out into your face. Ought to be good for at
least 3-4 days. My nose metrics are also above average, and my
ear/nose rotary mower works efficaciously.

We go by this place often when we're on the coast. They're making gourmet salt from water they draw from Netarts bay. Netarts bay doesn't have any major streams flowing into it, so the salinity varies less than in our other bays. Their salt is supposed to be more pure than what you can buy in the supermarket. They also have all sorts of flavored salt. You can buy 4 ounces for as little as $15.

JFC! ATEOTDGF, you got a damn machine reporting to homeland china every
time you de-hair your nose. They'll probably log into it one of these
days and have it grab a nose hair and yank! Don't say you weren't warned.

BG, you're right. The damthing was MIC, but it only yanked once. I
told it that if it did that again, I'd put a new Eveready alkaline in
it backwards - and I wasn't joking. Apparently, that worked. Those
damPRC things understand deterrence through strength.
