Have a houseguest. Nothing is ever right for her. After she used some (I think), she wanted regular white salt.
To me it's the exact same thing, with a touch of natural color and maybe the tracest of minerals.

Suggest she take a trip to bathe in the Himalayan Sea.

WKD's body wash has Himalayan Sea Salt in it. I haven't seen it in the grocery stores. Is it a course salt? I have to watch my salt intake but when I use salt, I like the course Kosher Sea Salt. I still use the salt with iodine in it occasionally.

I still use the salt with iodine in it occasionally. I'm supposed to keep my salt intake below just 2gms a day... I don't have salt in the house, buy low salt this and low salt that, but it's near impossible. 2gms in just three standard slices of bread.

I have a bottle of Himalayan Pink Salt and found that the taste difference from any other salt isn't enough to justify the greatly inflated cost. Plus, the trouble I had to go to grinding it made me put the bottle to the back of the shelf.

I have Dave's Killer Bread thin sliced, 115 mg sodium per slice. Buy a lot of no-salt or no-salt-added products. Just drink a crapload of water and have lots of potassium and fiber to counteract it.

I'm on meds to flush salt and other electrolytes out of my system, so I try not to stress about it.

This has me fascinated. What sea is in the Himalayas? The Himalayas are limestone. Sedimentary rocks laid down in a sea, then uplifted when two tectonic plates collided. The other plate subducted, thrusting them up. Ps, the himalayas are the fastest eroding geology on Earth, and the Scottish Highlands are the remnants of a mountain range that was higher than the himalayas. But himalayan sea salt is actually a rock salt from the punjab not the himalayas anyway.

Mine. Was like $4.50 including the grinder, and it can be refilled with salt, pepper, etc.

That stuff is just a scam. I remember a year or so ago reading some websites that listed 50+ things that Himalayan sea salt would supposedly cure. It was just nonsense to try to hype up salt that happens to be pink. It's not even from the Himalayas. It's from Pakistan.

I have a salt sampler thing that I got from Trader Joe's - it has Himalayan pink salt, Hawaaian Black, various sea salts. There is definitely a discernible taste among them and certain ones pair better with certain foods, obviously.
I'm not a huge salt guy, so we use it more for finishing salt purposes but it can add an extra pop to a dish if you use it correctly. Just a sprinkle on top after it's done cooking makes all the difference.
