  • Women and children crying.  For tangible reasons that is.  Being drunk or a brat doesn't count.

  • Can't!  My doctor recommended a salt-free caramel diet. He said it would cut down the amount of upset stomachs. :)

  • Yeah yeah. My father tried to feed me that same line for years. 
    You put salt on watermelon and you get salted watermelon, not WATERMELON!!
    You put salt in water and you get saltwater, not WATER!!

    Okay ... you're turn. :)

    So? If you put salt on eggs or a pretzel or chips you get salted eggs or a salted pretzel or salted chips. YUM YUM YUM!!

    So? The point isn't the name. It's that the salt enhances the flavor.

  • It "enhances" if you like the taste.  It "changes" whether you like the taste or not.

    It definitely changes the flavor.  I know Bill Cosby isn't very popular anymore, but this reminded me of ....

    Bill Cosby: I said to a guy, "Tell me, what is it about cocaine that makes it so wonderful,"
    and he said, "Because it intensifies your personality."
    Bill said, "Yes, but what if you're an a**hole?"

    So it changes. Enhances, changes, who cares? Ice Cream. Eggs. Pretzels. Chips. They taste better. And none of them are a-holes. Now Bill Cosby on the other hand.......

    Does it cost more to remove the salt?

  • I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about, 99.
    If the salt has already been added? I'd say yes.

    Eliminating the salt from the manufacturing process? It would save on the cost of materials, eliminate a step in the manufacturing process and alter the packaging. Whether any of that savings was passed-on to the consumer is hard to say.

    Desalination of saltwater, for use as drinking water, is still too expensive to offer to the general public.

    (I wish I knew what you were referring to)

    It does sound like a smart-ass question, but when salt-free foods first became popular, they cost more....really. Thus my response.

  • No, I didn't think it was a smart-ass question.  I just wasn't sure if you meant after it's already in or eliminating the process in an already established production run.  
    It would depend on machine availability and sophistication, in regards to how handle the product variations during the manufacturing process.
    No matter how it was done, the initial costs of the new line ... marketing, package design, advertising, etc. would be passed on to the public.

    I'm not sure why this comes to mind, but when stiletto heels first came out many Airline Companies had to reinforce their airplane's flooring because women were poking holes in them with their new shoes. :))
