    “Pinch of salt” is just snobby enough that I can’t wait to try it and tell it to all my friends next time I’m complaining about a lackluster café order.

    See, this is why I love the internet, it allows me to find my kin. I relish in learning enough about a niche thing that I have enough discernment that I can be a bit of a snob, if I wish.

      Hah. This is me respectfully nodding in your general direction.

      Although I’ll admit that in my case this mostly manifests as me buying literally any food I haven’t eaten before and putting super gross stuff in my mouth, no matter how transparent of a marketing scheme it is. I bought that coke they asked ChatGPT to formulate. This is a real problem.

      Also, if anybody is curious I put a pinch of salt in my tea today. It was fine, not noticeable. I’ll try a bigger pinch next time.
