Right!?! He’s confessing a crime. It’s a different crime, but maybe worse than meth!

Some people can only handle a beer/water ratio closer to Coors, I guess.

When I was farming in California (and was the only white dude there), the crew would all put that lime/chili/salt blend you see in Mexican bodegas and food trucks on melons all the time. They would make fun of me because they thought I didn’t like the heat of the chili (as if!), but it was really that I was eating fresh-picked organic watermelon that didn’t need any thing else for my taste.

To be fair, some folks here would probably put that on their corn flakes.

Salt is highly addictive and I can’t give it up. I put it on or in just about everything…
…just not in my beer.

I love that kind of seasoning. We put it on whatever whenever too. I also am a big fan of the chamoy type candies with some spice. So many fun bold flavors to play with.

The novelty is driving prices up, though. My partner wanted me to check out the cost of obtaining chamoy pickle-in-a-bags for retail sales, and even wholesale it just wasn’t worth the investment.

Our local grocery store brand has a line of those Mexican-style seasonings and candies it makes and yeah prices have gone up a lot. Then again right now food prices have gone up a lot in general so it’s hard to tell what is what.

Overall, yes. The wholesaler blames the TikTok trend, though. I guess we’ll see in the long run.

A little salt in a bitter beer like an IPA tends to lessen that too-hoppy edge. It also makes beer really foam up so it’s not very fizzy to drink - a plus for me as I’m not supposed to have carbonated beverages due to GERD (I cheat though). Guinness doesn’t have carbonation, using nitrogen for finer bubbles and less fizz.

Yes and no. Ignoring the ice for the moment, if you pour a beer (or anything carbonated) into a glass with salt in it, the crystals will cause it to foam up much more vigorously. With all the head, you’ll have to pour it in stages, while the bubbles die down. That being done, it’s going to flatten pretty quickly after that, and if that and/or the flavour is something you want, there you are. All this being said, I’m pretty sure that the fuzz he wanted to mess with was more blue than white.

To Cops: Why would I keep salt in a bag like that? None of your f*****g business is why. Is it illegal? No? Then get bent!
Let the guy be weird and leave him alone.
But to actually answer the question: salt keeps the foam down. When you pour beer over ice it foams. I recommend just using a freezable mug, the kind with the water in between the walls - works great in the heat, but does sweat a little. Anyway, a bit of salt or oil will stop the beer turning entirely into foam. And salt is more convenient than carrying a bottle of olive oil around.

Also sold that way from thousands of street corner carts in LA. Chili on fruit is a very common street food there. You’re never more than a few blocks away from someone selling it.

Huh. Weird. Personally, I always keep a little meth in the car to sprinkle into my road beers.

TIL: salt your beer by using a syringe full of saline solution so it doesn’t get confused with meth.
