from slovenia with salt.




This is a gift that was handed out at work. It's a pack of salt, 500gr of it. These were handed to other companies that are in the network of Telekom Slovenije. Once they handed these out, people were offended and joked around, since handing out salt at the end of the year, well, is not that welcoming around here. If it was sugar, no complaints would be made. It felt kind of weird at first, but after I read more into the letters that were attached to it, I learned that salt is actually considered lucky and vital. Which makes sense, but we're just not used to it.

I like the gift, nicely packed, and it's the best pack of salt I might receive, ever. Will use it tomorrow to make scrambled eggs and taste the salt.
