BTW, your numbers are off in regards to this deal, as retail table salt is <50 cents a pound vs this deal at $5.95 /lb. (Math is hard) There are much cheaper options (as you note, you can often find in the $2 range), so I didn't consider this to be much of a deal.
The point was that pink salt, which is just salt with trace minerals/compounds left without further processing, sells for a premium that isn't really justified. But if you find a difference in the taste, or prefer the additional trace amounts of minerals for the cost, go for it. Personally, I'd only use it the presentation aspect.
Where did I specify the salt in this deal is $2/lbs, I said "Himalayan salt" can be purchased fo $2-$3 a pound (reading is hard too).
And yes, it was clear that you were using hyperbole to make a point, however the amount of exaggerating was pointless.
You might spend $5 a year for standard table salt vs. $10 for something like this. That is hardly much of a "premium" for a more natural, less processed product, without additional additives.
Regardless, I decided to go with the 40 oz for $6 deal [amazon.com] I previously posted in this thread, as it seems like a better bang for the buck. Thanks to everyone who shared alternate prices for comparison; it's appreciated.
I suppose if you just use this as a finish seasoning, it would last a while, but at the bulk prices, I use this type for for my all-purpose salt (dump it in pasta water, etc.). I would go through 6oz pretty quickly.
I've never had a caking issue (in Florida), as long I keep most in the resealable bag.
It tastes like salt yes and some people who don't like table salt or ocean sea salt, love Himalayan pink salt.
I don't know if they are craving the minerals (like women crave chocolate when they need magnesium).
