Why are foods so goddamned salty now?!?
I just had opened a bag of tortilla chips, ate about five and I might as well throw em out. Tastes like I’m eating pure salt
- try them with salsaShenanigansTV
- I was having them with salsanb
- The same at restaurants... More salty, more tasty?OBBTKN
- makes you drink morehans_glib
- Because people like me kept writing to companies asking why they were increasingly replacing salt with sugar, and please stop it.Nairn
- I’ve noticed this at Mexican restaurants too .. the tortillas are way too salty.Ramanisky2
- True at restaurants! But not just Mexican food, it’s almost everywhere I go just sooo saltynb
- Often with mass-produced food, that salt is added to mask lower-quality inputs (like corn, wheat). But it is out of hand.nb
- Even “low-sodium” versions of foods are too salty. So my only option is no-salt tortillas. I want to taste my food!!!nb
- Now a days it’s like “hey excuse me but, can I get some tortillas with my salt?!?”Ramanisky2
- I find it disturbing that a plain can of soup has like 80% of sodium in it. And the low sodium version is still got tons. Wild.monospaced
- You are eating pure salt. That's garbage food.CyBrainX
- Getting salty about salt. SPICY!stoplying

Just sat in a bar at Friday lunchtime watching the cricket enjoying the 80s mix of music ( new order / culture club / tears for fears etc ) nice and casual...
and then a group of young uns came in and complained about Golden Oldies and changed it to k-pop !
Totally ruined my day .

My mate who has a slowly worsening autoimmune disease sent me the tune he wants at his funeral today.

You're a good egg, PhanLo.Nairn - Cheers Nairn. ❤ He's still online dating so I was hoping it was just part of his prepping for the inevitable. The guy was always so health conscious...PhanLo

Why is the hair in my ears growing at an alarming rate? And what's with all the wax in there? Is there really that much more trying to get in there when you're older? Sheesh.
