There's "Sea Salt Chocolate" which taste better (I'm convinced) than one made with table salt. Sea salt seems to taste less salty. Then there is the black kind for variety (I guess).

I read "today's music - Sea Salt" and got really excited for a moment

Rock salt is essentially sea salt that was left behind when ancient seas evaporated.

I don't buy many processed foods (where marketing plays a large roll), but I do use both sea salt and Himalayan, and here's why:
1) they are saltier than chemically produced salt which makes a difference in baking
2) they have no additives - table salt has an anti-caking agent that is iffy on safety and iodine (good on the face of it, but not naturally occurring)
3) Maybe it's just me, but the table salt tastes chemical to me, and I think I can tell the difference between the pink and sea salts (it may be all in my head since I haven't actually tested it)

First, totally agree that it's an overhyped thing that most people would never notice the difference and marketing people use to push their products. That being said, this would fall under terroir[^]. Normally used when referring to wine, but I think it can apply in this case too. Someone with a trained palette can probably identify different salts and regions vs the average person who wouldn't and just may like one more than the other.

The only advantage I see with sea salt is that the salt grains are larger than the regular Morton salt grains. It's easier for me to see (old eyes), so it's less likely for me to over salt whatever it is I'm adding salt too. Personally, I don't buy it but the wifey buys into all the hype on salt, vitamins, etc.

"Worth it" is pretty debatable but I think it is at least detectable if you mix several different kinds vs using just one for some things like roasting vegetables in oil under a broiler.

In my experience the only thing that really distinguishes different salts is the additives:
* Iodine
* Anti-caking agents
Iodine is frequently added to salt to help with a common deficiency. Anti-caking agents help prevent the salt from clumping. There are usually fewer anti-caking agents added to salt with larger granules. This site seems to have some useful information:

In Short - Salt is salt.

Thanks to the person who moved the menu back on the left hand side. It no longer feels squeezed here.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I know this is a rubbish clue. I was bogged down with meetings at work. Sorry.

How so? You guessed the same thing, and I don't know who actually posted first, because I edited mine and then noticed yours posted at the same time. Spelled would also work, and maybe it's the right answer, even though it wouldn't really be a proper CCC.

Spelled is the answer. In old British English, spelt can be found everywhere but when Americans adopted the language, they settled for spelled. I know this is a rubbish clue but you are up for tomorrow.

Well, I crossed that answer out and went with spittle, which is almost always spit in West Pond! So I think you should be up again tomorrow, but I'll take it if you don't want to do another one.

No I don't think I have time tomorrow morning either. I think you can take it.
