      Yes! Every Michelin star restaurant would kill to have something like that. You wouldn't clean it of course - you just serve it with one of the expensive full tasting menus. One star Michelin restaurants serve dinners for around 250usd. Two star ones start around 350usd. 25usd for a fancy fork is seriously not a big deal for them.

    Detachable head system for the salt fork might work. Save money on materials, since the handle is a massive amount of salt that seemingly might get wasted once prongs dissolve. The coupling system would require some work, but then you could sell replacement heads, customized bases, and allow for customers to re-buy salt fork for a cheaper cost per time.

    I am a full time online product salesman and fulfiller myself, and I decided to do some math on this video. At the time of this comment, using the current view count, I calculated that if 1% of the audience purchased a fork, there would be a little over $50k in profit, based on the industry standard of 30% profit margin per product. This is a pre-tax profit estimate with no overhead calculated. However, even if we factor in overhead, a likely low profit margin estimate, and my generously conservative estimate of 1 out of every 100 people purchasing a fork, it is still an incredibly impressive number. Well played Ben Walker. I tip my hat to you!

    When you think of a salt fork, it seems obviously dumb and unusable. And the more you think about it, the more it appears realistic, cool, and actually a very good idea.

Take-out or delivery from restaurants will often include utensils that are usually only used once. For the millions of take-out orders people get from restaurants every day, this could be a good alternative to the plastic ones that are often used today.
      I will say though that the places that use wooden ones are probably the better choice since much more wood is produced than salt based on a brief internet search. I could see restaurants that want to differentiate themselves offering this for their take-out / delivery instead. It would be cool to get salt utensils with take-out one day.
