"Rocío de sal"

Question

Ok set-up first: Visiting my local Wally World today (Wal-Mart, NYSE: WMT ) and this product caught my eye =

Right then, soda crackers or saltines [galletas de soda]... no big deal... just that the box was flipped over to its "Spanish" side and it read: sin rocío de sal... and I'm like, "huh?"

My brain starts to click & whir in a fashion similar to that of a slot machine... "without salt dew?"... "without salt mined from condensation?"... Needless to say, I left la tienda stumped yet determined to get to the bottom of it! Has anyone else ever used this particular phrase to describe something prepared with either no salt or very little salt? I finally settled for "without a sprinkling of salt" on one side (from unsalted tops)... but why go through all the kerfuffle, I ask?

Answer 1

I would not count poduct packinging to give good translations. The only thing I could think of is Spray but even that does not make sense.

Very true, BM... I can picture a board meeting at Kraft Foods where one person took a year of college Spanish and they all voted to go with his/her translation! :) - cristalino, Dec 24, 2011
