    Those big frozen pretzels, six in a box, available at any super market.
    Wet them, sprinkle some of the enclosed salt on them and microwave for
    45 seconds.

    Sorry, but yuck. I don't like pretzels unless they're crunchy
    and smothered in chocolate.

    There's more than enough of the big granule salt that comes with them.
    What kind of salt is this? I know Alton Brown swears by Kosher salt.
    Then there's sea salt. But, what is the type of salt that comes with
    the pretzels.

    Probably Kosher.

    Kosher? Sea? Or just big granule table salt?

    Kosher salt is just a large grain of table salt -- the salt
    itself isn't kosher, it's used in the koshering process. Chefs
    like it because it's easy to handle with your fingers...

    That's gotta be the stupidest statement made in the last 5000 years...
    why would something unkosher make something kosher... you mean if I fry
    shrimp in lard the shrimp become kosher?!?!?

    Actually ALL salt is kosher.

    Oh, bull -- I've made much stupider statements than that.

    My mistake -- I knew there wasn't anything specially kosher about
    kosher salt, but I got it backward...

    You got that right, you're backward.

    Not only are you an airhead you're also smarmy, you have to respond as
    though you simply made a typo... you just can't admit that you didn't
    know something. I feel sorry for your kids having a role model like
    you... unless given up for adoption I have no doubt whatsoever they'll
    become just as dumb and dishonest. Go on, hurry up so you don't miss
    responding to each and every post, even if you haven't a clue.

    Sheldon's the only person I know who gets upset when people
    agree with him.

    No thanks, I'll leave that job for you -- you've been handling
    it nicely for so long now. Feel free to follow up with plenty
    of vitriol (check your dictionary), it might amuse others, but
    I've lost interest...

    Kosher salt also tastes different from regular table salt. Table salt
    has additives in it to keep it free flowing. You don't notice the
    taste unless you compare it with kosher salt, which to me has a purer
    taste. The difference is even more noticeable if the table salt is
    iodized.

    Not quite true. Morton Kosher salt, for example
    <http://www.mortonsalt.com/consumer/products/foodsalts/koshersalt.htm>
    contains free-flowing agents.
