Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 25, 2015

I like pink.

A tincture for every taste and pay grade.

A fictional product for a fictional character..(Do. Or do not. There is no “Himilaya”.)

Not after she sat in it, ick.

For movers and shakers.

Belly shots with pink salt????

The chemical composition of Himalayan salt includes 95–96% sodium chloride, contaminated with 2–3% polyhalite and small amounts of ten other minerals. The pink color is due to iron oxide.[]And the iron oxide is due to the rusting hulls of a massive fleet of steel warships that were sunk in that region when it was an ocean during the second age of man, some 200,000 years ago. As the area rose and the sea shrank and dried, their mineral content became part of the salt water.It’s all coming back to me…And then the Bomb Pops and Dreamsicles started falling.Oh, the horror.I just made that up, but in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I’m going to say it is true and begin my round of radio interviews and my book tour.

Ah, a generous mood today. I think.

Her red face turned toward Teresa, as arrows downward arced.

Just what did you say? Do you know how hard it is to make salt blush? Salty language is all they know!

Himalayan salt mines must be from around a from elevation of 15,000 or more feet or more so sounds like it all under foot salt to me

Soak your feet in green tea for blisters, it is an anti-inflammatory.A couple tea bags will take away order in shoes.

Why, thank you, Teresa! How colorful! Pink salt, however, should be paired with blue pepper, I think….

The heavy hand of spell-check means I have to save this strip again.

All salt available for sale is actually Sea Salt. Most is mined from very deep salt mines that formed when seas evaporated and left behind their salt in massive flats that were then covered over with other materials and buried far underground. The continents as we know them were not always as they are today. South Dakota and Colorado used to be undersea, as did Pakistan and other places from which the Himalayan Pink Salt are mined. The land rises and falls by virtue of forces we do not actually understand at this time, though popular theories ascribe this motion to the force of thermal convection in the gooey liquid center of the Tootsie Pop.

Originally the cartoon caption was “Himilayan pink salt for everyone!” in handwritten script.Now it has been replaced with “Himalayan pink salt for everyone!” in pink printed text.Note the spelling difference.

There can be only one I in Himalaya.

@ Meh~tdology: Yeah, that too…
