the pickling process
It appears that I have landed on a strange, strange planet, the surface of which is covered with Twang flavored salt.
Confused? So am I. Let me retrace the path.
I read this post over at Public School, and was charmed by the tale of how Jay found pickle salt at his corner store. Then disturbed by the fact that his childhood ice cream truck used to peddle the stuff. (I’ll have a Rocket Pop, extra pickly, please…)
So I set out to buy pickle salt on the internet, because hey! What wouldn’t taste better with a light dusting of pickle salt? Turns out that Twang also makes chili-lime salt, sweet & sour salt, and–wait for it–BEER SALT. Apparently, the lemon-lime longneck shaker has been Twang’s best-selling product for over 20 years.
You’ll be doing all of us a public service if you can comment about the Twanging experience. Because my Twang won’t arrive until this weekend, and I’ll be too drunk and salty to do it myself.

I don’t know about pickle salt but everyone was messing with Lucas Limon Salt on the playground.

Lucas Limon Salt? Is this yet another variation on the flavored salt phenomenon? I’m telling you…it’s a whole new world!
