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.

I am so glad you are doing this and I wish to support your every endeavor. Also the idea of using handles that are reusable is a good one, but they just look absolutely fantastic no matter what.
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. Many comments have pointed out (rightfully) that this can make actual, real money, if you sell it to restaurants and as a novelty item. Well I hope with every fiber of my being that it does.

Great for a hot dry climate... but anywhere humid? God help you. 😂 I had a rock salt candle holder once. It pulled so much water from the air that it sweated brine and stripped the paint off my windowsill. You'd have to store your forks in a jar of silica packets, or your cutlery drawer would be a MESS.

i feel like the handle may go to waste. you could create one with a reusable handle where only the head of the fork is made of salt, and the handle could just be held in by friction or maybe have a screw on the end or something.
yeah, he could sell one handle with three or four exchangeable fork heads and it'll be a lot more worth for both him and the customer. in fact, the cuts will probably be a lot more easier without having to fit the handle in for each slice of salt. possible upscaling from 16 to 32 per operation.
The problem with that is how you attach it. I don't think that the salt has the friction or strength to be a friction fit, and a screw would require a completely different setup and be harder to produce.
I needed a re-introduction. I didn’t know why you were making salt forks until I clicked on your previous video. I want to see your channel thrive man. With this production you’re going to make it
This guy gets life. Life is not about the end result but about the journey, what you learn along the way, and how useful those learned skills can be to the next endeavor.

@@partiallyfrozen3425 what kind of maniac would make fork out of metal? Maybe one day this guy will try that too. These kids and their new-fangled ideas, I swear! Metal forks.
@@partiallyfrozen3425 Since the salt fork melts away as it is used, it wouldn't be useful as a permanent reusable utensil like metal. 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.

Bro came out of nowhere and started releasing bangers
Fr
He released a banger like this before…
@@sledger2066thats why there’s an “s” on the end of the word banger. it implies plurality, meaning multiple, or more than one
@@cooperswan534 yeah but implies out of nowhere now, he already came out of nowehere

4:18 is the rust a health concern?

honestly, keep making videos about what you want! i’ll keep watching them. they’re really entertaining. doesn’t matter about the schedule!
When life gives you salt, make forks
preach brotha
i feel like the handle may go to waste. you could create one with a reusable handle where only the head of the fork is made of salt, and the handle could just be held in by friction or maybe have a screw on the end or something.
yeah, he could sell one handle with three or four exchangeable fork heads and it'll be a lot more worth for both him and the customer. in fact, the cuts will probably be a lot more easier without having to fit the handle in for each slice of salt. possible upscaling from 16 to 32 per operation.
The problem with that is how you attach it. I don't think that the salt has the friction or strength to be a friction fit, and a screw would require a completely different setup and be harder to produce.

@@derpinator4912 Like how a telescoping tripod leg works, with a little divot cut into the side of the fork head's base so it snaps into place
Or just a hole in the salt fork head so the user can pin it to the handle
I have routinely checked your channel since your original salt fork vid…. So excited you’re back with more salt forks ❤
best phrase i've heard in my life "i've been waiting 6 months to say this do you want a salt fork?i'll make you one" absolute legend
>"What if forks were made of salt"
> One year passes
>"What if many forks were made of salt"
With Moore's law all forks will be salt fork in 30 years.

nice! but what should we do with the fork handle when the prongs are used up and gone?
Return them to the salt reservoir of course, the cycle of salt fork life.
I needed a re-introduction. I didn’t know why you were making salt forks until I clicked on your previous video. I want to see your channel thrive man. With this production you’re going to make it
My memory of this guy was completely wiped-but it came back.
bro got a silver button, died, then came back with more forks.
This guy gets life. Life is not about the end result but about the journey, what you learn along the way, and how useful those learned skills can be to the next endeavor.
i am pretty sure that there are people out there willing to pay excessivly more for the slight improvement of being able to eat salt and meat as raw as possible while looking civilized
Mongol music in a video about forks made of salt never thought this day would come
Surely some revelation is at hand...
right as I read this the music came up lol
not mongol, its altai turkic
@@wetyngr the altai language is very similar to mongolian

- Reduced plastic waste.
- More tasty meals
- salt fork perfect
plastic waste?
@@partiallyfrozen3425salt ≠ plastic
@@liamernst9626 OHhhhhhh you mean plastic forks.... wait you dont use metal ones??
@@partiallyfrozen3425 what kind of maniac would make fork out of metal? Maybe one day this guy will try that too. These kids and their new-fangled ideas, I swear! Metal forks.
@@partiallyfrozen3425 Since the salt fork melts away as it is used, it wouldn't be useful as a permanent reusable utensil like metal. 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.

2:28 I’m starting a band and calling it Proto Fork
I will be in the lookout
I have never ordered a fork so quickly in my life. So excited to try this out, I think I’m gonna make a short about it!
Yooo weisz here
Dude started selling something no one needed a year after his one hit wonder video and even quit his job. I hope this doesn’t flop for him
