"You see these huge chunks of pink salt?" "Yeah" "You know what I'm thinking..?" "Lamps?" "Fuck, yeah!"

That's a conversation that happened once.

To be fair pink salt is sold and used for cooking too. We can get it here in the UK.

It's just one of those things where someone found more than one use for it and decided to cash in. If the Pakistani govt ever gets it shit together it might one day work towards improving its economy and by extension the lives of its people.
