In Iceland if you grab some fast food at the airport or elsewhere you might take your plate of French Fries or Chips over to the condiment station where you’ll find ketchup, salt, pepper and perhaps some strange looking non-descript clear baggies with barely any labeling.

The power in side might be confused for a dime bag of hashish or maybe some Adobo seasoning.  Looks like pink salt  or salt mixed with paprika.
