Nice surprise in my IO salt

Opened up my new bucket of salt this afternoon and found this T-shirt in it...

Thanks IO!!! I bought the bucket of salt last weekend at King Ed's.

Well that's a whole lot better than I was expecting when I saw your thread title. About 6yrs ago my buddy opened a pail to find a small crescent wrench in his, after sending the wrench with pictures back to IO the company admitted the wrench was there's. They sent him 10 free pails, a bunch of tshirts and some hydrometers.
IO has been doing the free shirt promo as long as they having been making there product, so if you only got a shirt consider yourself lucky lol

First time I've seen tshirts. Cool.

Usually Fish food samples.

Meh, I'd take a wrench over a shirt any day.

Pffft, a while back, I was mixing some salt and I found a small grey "stone" in the mix. Thinking nothing of it, I grabbed it and was immediately seized by the worst pain to ever hit my fingertips. THOUSANDS of tiny metal filings slivering my fingers (sorta like how a bristleworm nails you, for anyone familiar with that bit of fun).

On the other hand, I do have a collection of purple plastic scoops now!

Yep, very inconsistent. The salt from my previous bucket was all clumped up and I had to use a chisel and hammer to break it up into chunks. It also produced cloudy water. I've had bad 50g bags as well in the past that I wanted to return to the store. My current bucket is completely different and dissolves well and produces clear water.
