    This story has been all over the news here. They've gotten far more than $2K worth of free advertising from it.

    "This Portland café is selling a cup of coffee for $150
    They paid $2,000 for just one pound of the beans used to make the coffee."

    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.

    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.

    Don Draper Jr.

    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.

    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?

    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.....

    Juan Valdez Jr.

    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.

    ----------------------------------------- ...Once dry, every
    flake of salt is hand-graded and sorted
    ------------------------------------------ Every flake? Ok, I'll
    give them the benefit of the doubt - they didn't say
    "literally".

    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 that JFSS even costs more than my beef filet......or
    my Kraken.

    I sure hope those JFSS eaters are getting enough iodine, because
    insufficient iodine can result in poor thinking skills.

    -- bill Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

    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.

    As near as I can tell, TBBS doesn't even make their own sea salt.
    Probably get it from Walmart.

    Sounds like the cream de la cream of PNW coffee

    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.....

    Juan Valdez Jr.

    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 of salt is hand-graded and sorted

    Ok, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt - they didn't
    say "literally".

    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 that JFSS even costs
    more than my beef filet......or my Kraken.

    I sure hope those JFSS eaters are getting enough iodine,
    because insufficient iodine can result in poor thinking
    skills.

    -- bill Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

    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.

    As near as I can tell, TBBS doesn't even make their own sea
    salt. Probably get it from Walmart. -- bill Theory don't

    Yabut, by the time they get done with it it's magical salt. It

    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
