Salt That Survived Millions Of Years... Expires Next Year
Behold the geological paradox in your kitchen! Himalayan salt marketing claims it's "the purest salt formed 100 million years ago," yet somehow has an expiration date in 2025? That's like dinosaurs carrying around "best before" tags! Fun fact: These pink crystals actually formed ~250 million years ago when ancient seas evaporated, and the color comes from trace iron oxide. The expiration date? Pure marketing nonsense since NaCl is literally one of the most stable compounds on Earth. Salt was used to PRESERVE other foods for millennia! Next they'll be selling us expiring rocks. "Premium granite: Best if used by Tuesday."
