    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.

      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?

      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.

      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.

        Ok I’m confused about what the map photo means now. It’s raining inland. Is it raining salt inland?

        It’s not just Myrtle Beach. Those are in beach shops all over the gulf coast too.

    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.
