And then word gets around that you put salt in coffee instead of sugar, and people stop going to you. Unless you’re the only deli in town.

But all the other delis are doing it as well. So is your supermarket. So is your farmer (somehow they figured out how to add salt to the veggies they sell at the farmer's market!)... Whaddya gonna do? Grow your own? THE SEEDS SHALL HAVE SALT TOO, has been decreed...

Yes, the only deli in town. Office, Server, Desktop, now your TV, pretty soon your car.

Then your social media & newsfeeds are buzzing about salted coffee, and your work has mandated salt in the coffee, insisting that it increases productivity, and if you’re not partaking you might fail your next performance review.
