Why can I not find regular popcorn salt any more?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

I simply do not like the flavored crap. Even movie theaters don't do real popcorn salt any more.

1. my grocery store has it. n/t

2. Try sea salt

It's a little finer and sticks to the popcorn better.

3. The Magick Market

caters to plebeian desires. Scale back your tastes to the LCD to achieve true happiness. Real Americans eat popcorn from a pre-flavored microwave bag. All those flavors on the shelf don't leave room for mere salt.
Also, if you're a leftie stocking up on popcorn in preparation for watching the Trumpocalypse, don't look to ConAgra and Big Food for help in procuring snack supplies.
Meanwhile, put regular-grain salt in a blade-type coffee grinder and reduce it to finer sized crystals.

4. Kosher salt is all I buy

If I need anything finer I run it through the food processor.

5. There are loads of sellers on amazon.

Plain popcorn salt.

There is plenty of seasoned and butter flavors also, but just plain ol popcorn salt is there.

6. My 3 favorite groceries sell it.

Google says 87¢ at Target

7. It's just called "table salt"

It's available at any grocer. I recommend the iodized version. You know, with DPRK having nuclear weapons and all.

8. I finally ordered some on line.

I've actually been searching on and off for years.

I've been known to use a rolling pin to crush Kosher salt, the only kind I ever buy, to make it fine.

And regular table salt is NOT popcorn salt, despite the fact that that's all the movie theaters pass out these days.

My local Target didn't have it either. One of my problems is that I live in Santa Fe, and the stores here are a third to a half smaller than the same ones in larger cities. In the case of Target, about two-thirds smaller. So not as much stuff is stocked.

I gave up and ordered on Amazon.

11. There's other ways to make it finer

You can use a food processor, a blender, or a whirlybird type coffee grinder.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. I own none of those items.

[Major Nikon]

13. I have a whirlybird type coffee grinder that I use exclusively for spice grinding

Comes in quite handy for all sorts of things.

14. You could try putting it through your blender

or shark. Whatever they call the high speed one. I have a stone mortar and pestle, would use it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. No blender here.

Part of the reason I lack certain tools is that my kitchen is quite small. Not a lot of storage space. I'm willing to do a lot of chopping on my own, so no food processor or blender.

9. Amazon sells Morton's Popcorn Salt nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Yep. You posted at the same time I did.

I've ordered it.

I will probably take up sneaking it into movie theaters with me.
