As we know, eating a lot of salt is bad for you. And to consume less of it, they recommend salting food that is already cooked. But personally, lately I like having tiny grains of salt on my food. That is, you eat something that isn't particularly salty, but in places the dish is sharply salty because of the grains.
But achieving this isn't easy. So, I had the idea of a salt atomizer. That is, you press a button, and a very sparse cloud of micro-grains of salt flies out of it. Is this technically possible? Probably, yes. Has this already been implemented? Probably not. It's a pity.
By the way, if you smoke marijuana, there's a very pronounced feeling (a false one?) that the pleasant sensations are delivered not by the taste of the food itself, but by alternating parts of the dish with different flavors. This is understandable without weed too, but not as obvious. Few things are pleasant just on their own: most have a flavor that's too sharp to revel in for long.
