A quirky London emporium has come up with a range of salt which they claim is made from human tears, Daily Mail reported.

They say the "Salt Made from Tears" range contains "the freshest human tears which are gently boiled."

You can even choose what kind of tears you like, picking from salt made from Tears of Anger, Sorrow, Laughter, Chopping onions or Sneezing.

It's all a clever gimmick -- the real origins of this sad seasoning is Anglesey -- but, at 30 pounds a set, the price might be enough to drive you to tears.

伦敦出售眼泪制造的盐

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,英国伦敦一家诡异的百货商场推出了一系列号称由人类眼泪制造的盐类调味品。

       这一系列盐被称作“眼泪制造的盐”,其成分是“温煮过的新鲜眼泪”。

       顾客甚至可以选择自己想要的各类眼泪,这些盐都是从各类眼泪中提取的,有生气的眼泪、难过的眼泪、欢乐的眼泪、被洋葱熏的眼泪和打喷嚏流的眼泪。

       其实,这一切都是精明的小把戏——这种悲伤的调味品真正原料来自威尔士北部安格尔西岛。但是,这一套盐类调味品售价30英镑,估计这个价格足够使你飙泪了。
