Born and raised in Hawaii like me, so it has to be the Flyin' Hawaiian.

How pure is the famous Himalayan salt really?
I took a liter of distilled water and dissolved enough Himalayan salt in it until it was saturated. The result: 400 grams per liter. By comparison, sea salt only dissolves up to 375 grams per liter, which puzzled me. Where did the extra residue come from?
When the water evaporated and the salt crystals reformed, a brown residue remained on the surface. I had it analyzed – it was nothing other than ordinary clay.
The "Himalayan salt" comes from Khewra, Pakistan, and is mined there under miserable conditions – poorly paid, with no hygiene regulations. It is mine salt, rejected by the industry because it is contaminated with iron and dirt.
And instead of throwing it away, they simply invented a clever marketing strategy – and now sell it as a supposed “miracle salt” for your table.

The red salt is similar, but is covered with red clay dust, again, just for looks, again, created a sediment in water if dissolved.

Elements occur as various isotopes, variations of elements with different atomic weights. American scientist Harold Urey wondered if the smallest atom, hydrogen, had other isotopes, and he calculated how they ought to be constituted if that were the case.
In 1931, he discovered heavy hydrogen and named the new form of hydrogen deuterium. The name is formed from the Greek deuteros, which means "second", to denote the two particles composing the nucleus.
According to the New York Times obituary, Urey once commented that at the time of the discovery, he thought that heavy hydrogen might eventually have practical use in "something like neon signs". Deuterium and tritium are the forms of hydrogen used as fuel in the hydrogen bomb. Deuterium, combined with oxygen as "heavy water", is also essential to operating some nuclear reactors.
Urey was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Chemistry but refused to travel to Sweden because his wife was pregnant, so he delivered his Nobel Prize lecture the following year.

The mouse made its commercial debut in 1981.
On April 27, 1981, the Xerox Star workstation, the first commercial computer to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) controlled by a mouse, was released. This marked the commercial debut of the computer mouse, a device pioneered by Douglas Engelbart in the 1960s and further developed by Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). The Xerox Star's mouse allowed users to interact with on-screen elements like windows, icons, and menus, laying the groundwork for modern computing interfaces. While the Star was not a commercial success due to its high cost, it heavily influenced later systems, including Apple's Macintosh.

“They will vote dry as long as they can stagger to the polls.” –Will Rogers
April 7, 1959 – The people of Oklahoma went to the polls and contradicted Will Rogers’ famous quote. Statewide Prohibition was officially repealed, and the Liquor Control Act established a new board that governed the manufacture and sale of alcohol.

Today In History: 06 May [1908]
The Wright brothers fly for the first time since 1905
, at Kitty Hawk. Wilbur pilots the 1905 "Flyer III," modified so that the pilot and a passenger can sit erect, on a flight of just over 1,000 feet.
They were required by the Signal Corps to produce an airplane "capable of carrying two men and sufficient fuel supplies for a flight of 125 miles, with a speed of at least 40 miles an hour." They started flying on 6 May, were first witnessed flying by correspondents on 11 May, and flew their first passenger on 14 May.
PHOTO: The Wright Flyer III in its two-seat configuration at Kill Devil Hills, May 1908. Take-offs were made from the monorail launch track; the catapult and derrick were not used. This is the only surviving Wright brothers photo of the airplane in this configuration.
