This is the first time that I've ever found real rocks in my rock salt.

I take my ice cream ball to a friend's house so that our kids can play, and then we can have ice cream. All goes well until I dump the salty water into her beautiful sink, and then I spend the next ten minutes apologizing and scraping little rocks and what looks suspiciously like bits of glass out of her garbage disposal.

The salt part all dissolved right on cue, but that stuff was certainly not all salt. I couldn't believe that I was right, but when I got home I checked and double checked the bag--yep, little rocks. Maybe I got a bad bag? Maybe it's supposed to be rocks and salt instead of rock salt? All I know is I'll be picking a different brand next time I make ice cream.

After reading others reviews, I really didn't think rock salt could be that bad. All the other reviews are correct. The rock salt in this bag is the same quailty of the rock salt you buy from your local hardware store (dirt and rocks included). If you are buying this because it says "ice cream" on the label - Save your money and use your left over salt from winter.

This is the dirtiest rock salt I've ever seen. Remember years ago when you opened up the rock salt, and it was white, and you could actually grab a piece and suck on it ..this isn't it ! This bag of salt looked like they'd swept it up off the busy New York streets after a long storm
and then dried and bagged it. Like a friend said, "Buy Morton, it's clean salt." Think I'll do that next time.
