If you like lots of salt, but don't like the grittiness of regular
table salt, try this:

It is much cheaper than any other brand of popcorn salt I've ever
seen.
Find a salt shaker with small holes. Often you can just reverse the
roles of salt and pepper shakers, which is also good because pepper
shakers seldom dispense pepper quickly enough for my tastes. Of
course at home I grind the pepper fresh.

At fast food places like McD's & BK, the salt in the little packets is
very fine ground, whereas the stuff in the shakers on the table is
regular. I always use the packets.
