I grew up on the water. Saw these stickers everywhere. Cool, we all go to the beach all the time, we live on an island.
Then 7 years ago I moved to central PA. I see one of these stickers on cars here all the time. I’ve been making fun of it for years. I think they don’t know the river here is fresh water.
Do you see people with the Unsalted decals as well? There are a ton of those here in Michigan, with the same font, and I’ve seen them in surrounding states as well. Maybe the areas on the border should get Brackish stickers lol
I would almost put a “brackish” sticker in that font on my car. Almost.
In Minnesota, this is Salt Life.a snowplow spraying a salt mixture to help prevent icing on the roads.
Which season is this? Winter, Still Winter, or Road Construction?
Found the southerner. You don’t salt roads during road construction season.
Could be any except for Mosquito.
I’m gonna guess at… day after second false spring
As somebody not from the US of A… What is a “salt life decal” and who would or wouldn’t have one?
In Utah there’s plenty of people who unironically wear shirts with SL,UT on them.
Bumper stickers as well
I’ll copy my response to the other person who was confused.
In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, NC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.
That’s about it.
Just to be precise, Myrtle Beach is in SC. I didn’t think the slut life stickers were exclusively from there though.
Ah so the German equivalent would be the Sylt sticker
I’m from west coast USA and I’ve also never heard of this.
went to Myrtle Beach once on Memorial Day weekend
sALt LiFe
They also get to use their pointless bro-dozers! Go on, you can drive through the water across the road!
I went to Myrtle Beach once. I was super stressed out from my job and I had a deep need to see the ocean and it was the closest spot from where I was in terms of driving where I could see ocean.
What a shithole.
I’m glad I stayed in a tent in the state park and I hate camping.

I don’t get it.

It’s not just Myrtle Beach. Those are in beach shops all over the gulf coast too.
sporty douchebags
That’s generous. Most of the ones I see are the fat rednecks with goatees. The kind who set a photo of them with a caught fish as their BoomerBook profile pic.
Ok I’m confused about what the map photo means now. It’s raining inland. Is it raining salt inland?
Red states goin green!
I’m rather late to the party, but a lot of posters seem to think Salt Life is geographical. It’s a brand name of clothing by Delta Apparel. They make a lot of other brands like MJ Soffe. That doesn’t mean that the decals aren’t put on cars driven by posers, though.
Op is retarded…it doesn’t rain salt water
Not with that attitude, it doesn’t.

I’ll never not read those stickers as “Slut Life” because of the idiotic font they chose.

We’ve got shirts for this in Salt Lake City. They read “SL,UT”

Simply amazing. Especially so considering the demographics.

Lol I thought this for years! I always thought it was a bold choice for a bumper sticker. I was like “Ya! You do you!” To be honest idk what they mean by salt life. Slut life I could wrap my head around. But salt? Do they harbor ambitions to become deckhands?
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 7 months ago
That sounds way cooler too.

I really thought it was “slut life” for years until I thought surely not this many people right? So I searched online for slut life sticker and that’s when I learned it was salt and not slut.

It has to be intentional
