Have you ever heard of Grand Saline, Texas? No, you haven’t? Well, you’re probably acquainted with the town indirectly. Most of us have a box of Morton Salt in our pantry. Grand Saline, a tiny Texas municipality, has enough salt underneath it to last us another 20,000 years, and a portion of it finds its way to our tables.

Maybe you’re craving a bit of the briny stuff for your favorite margarita. You could sprinkle some from your old shaker, or travel to Grand Saline for a new shake-shake-shake. Out of Dallas, head east on Highway 80 toward Longview, and about seventy miles later, you’ll find Grand Saline. You’ll also find a building with a salt wall to lick, and who can resist that?
