For days when caffeine isn't enough, some ammonium triiodide crystals. 😉
I’ve been using coarse salt in a grinder, along with peppercorns for years - I like lots of pepper, but not to much salt, and it’s just easier to control the amounts in a grinder. If I go to get som fish and chips, I won’t let them put salt on, they inevitably cover everything with a heavy layer of salt, which I hate.
I actually have a pepper grinder with chili flakes in as well as the black peppers, so I can get the right amount of salt, then vinegar, then the pepper and chilli.
Yum. 😋

Aside from dubious claims about the relative quality of evaporated Atlantic, Île de Ré salt kind of backs up the bonkers cost of UK sea salt, presumably as we can't use free solar energy to make it.
Île de Ré - under £2/Kg (ok a delivery will add a bit) often sold in Kg or 5Kg bags
Maldon - £10/Kg
Artisan twig (insert own unique process that definitely makes our salt betterer than any other available) enriched salt. Provenance marketed to death and only sold in tiny overpriced bags, somewhere between £30 - 50/Kg (make up own price depending on how artisan and historical your salt is).
It’s makes no sense but we have salt in our second grinder. Like the OP i tried to resist as it makes no sense. However mrs Ampthill wanted a pair with salt in one. So that’s what we have. The only benefit is that it’s much easier to control the application of salt by grinding than shaking
Of course you are now wondering about the power dynamics at Ampthill towers. Last time we discussed bikes she said “i don’t need to know just buy it”. No trip or ride has ever been declined
