@Trinkets: That would be either the clumping agent or iodine in that case. The surface area does come into play, because it changes the weight and volume of the salt.... must be careful because they are not equal so it can mess up your baking as creeper probably well knows.
Devin Doewie Leysen 2015-02-16T15:25:33-05:00
HOLY SHAZBOT , did it just jump 10K in 20 minutes ?
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-16T15:25:45-05:00
I would think a person's surface area would have little to do with their particular tastes in humor.
The box is for everyone, the pocket in the box for instructions is for everyone, the cool surprise is for everyone, if you want to play with more people those of us kid friendly (or clean minded) have to pay $5 more for a 2nd deck.
This is Kickstarter. It's not Amazon or Walmart.
The team gave us stretch goals & more stuff for everyone because we asked - they hadn't planned on doing it. The new box & it's features are super duper cool.
There are always people unhappy with the creators choices, after backing over 400 Kickstarter, I've yet to back a single one where everyone was happy even when there were only 30 backers. It's kinda sad. People back an idea and then decide they should get more & then decide the more was not good enough for whatever reason. I don't get it. You backed for what the base was. Now your getting much more than that & it cost you nothing. That's a win in my book.
Can you PLEASE do a Simon's Cat special video... I feel that is just too much awesomeness to handle but do it anyway!

Specifically called:
Sinan salt, which costs about three times more than refined salt, is coveted in South Korea, found in fancy department stores and given as wedding gifts.
Woah. Dear team, I was so lame in choosing my profile picture that I would like The Oatmeal/Matt Inman/Half-kitten-lover-half-jesus-kicker to draw me a better one. In exchange, I promise not to harm any kitten.
Some people have very sensitive taste buds & we can taste the difference in different salts.
Kosher salt is called that because it's used in kashering meat - drawing all the blood out of beef & chickens to make then kosher - larger grains are easier to rinse off after the "soaking in salt" process is over.

I would love you for to draw a picture of me. It would also definitely get framed and put on the wall in the hallway of my entryway.

@Ellie, Simon Torvalds is a bit busy right now with his own Indiegogo campaign, so the chance of a tie-in with Exploding Kittens is unlikely.
I'm just breaking it down, it can have a different affect when used in cooking. But ONLY when maintained as large flakes, simply because of it's structure.

Just as a thought: Long term planning: I like to card sleeve my favorite games just to make sure they last a little longer (or avoid table-finger grunge). Can you make sure the card box has a little extra room to allow for sleeved cards?
@pottaten I was explaining how that grain size got it's name "kosher" LOL
And yes the difference I taste in most salts has to do with minerals based on where they are from :D
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-16T15:47:47-05:00
All the "please let us sleeve our cards" folks. You do realize that while sleeving your cards protects them from grubby fingers, it destroys them on a chemical level?
Kosher salt isn't kosher... at least not in and of itself. It's just CALLED kosher because it's used in koshering.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-16T15:49:52-05:00
When I was a kid, my folks had a water softener to counteract the hard water from the well. A plastic drum about 36" tall and 24" across, 3/4 full of rock salt ... I used to nab nuggets and suck on them ...

Most likely mined in Kansas, since you can visit salt mines there. I often wondered if the workers left the house each day saying "off to the salt mines".
Making something Kosher has nothing to do with blessing. Well except the blessings you say right before you eat. Oh let's not go into kashrut 101. The to:dr is: kashrut has to do with how food is prepared - sometimes including how it's grown, harvested, slaughtered. It has nothing to do with blessings./kashrut 101 over
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-16T15:52:00-05:00
And rapidly approaching 160K backers ... exceeding Reading Rainbow by a full 50% there.
Apart from consideration of a particular faith-path and methodology, Kosher salt tends to have a certain texture and particle size, that make it ideal for hand- adding to dishes by pinching and sprinkling. If I were to pick an "ideal" such stuff, that would be something I would consider. ;)

@Tasha: Salt is salt UNLESS it has something in it that makes it different. Kosher salt is not in and of itself any different other than grain size. http://authoritynutrition.com/different-types-of-salt/
The subtlety of flavor is near irrelevant between regular and kosher. The mine thing is messed up but can give an altered compound.
@ Geist de la Muerte Gatiton ; Thx, tempting to back that project too!
Imagine if this level of backing continues now until the end date? We could easily break the $10M amount, too.
I'm just breaking it down, it can have a different affect when used in cooking. But ONLY when maintained as large flakes, simply because of it's structure.
Conspiracy Theory: another, highly unreachable goal exists if we get all achievements >_>
Rather it is NOT the flavor of the salt that's different, but the texture.
I don't subscribe to voodooist madness Luka.

@Tasha: I'm not arguing that! I was just expounding on the issue to broaden it! It does come from koshering meat, you're quite right.
Wouldn't kosher salt have to be properly blessed to be kosher? Just as in kosher meats are properly butchered, etc.
(last comment)
Just buy a big piece of rock salt and scrape it off the way you would a block of parmesan cheese. Problem solved!
Kosher salt isn't kosher... at least not in and of itself. It's just CALLED kosher because it's used in koshering.
