My aunt in Tampa put salt on her grapefruit and I almost called the police on her

I always thought salting fruit was a weird old person thing until my aunt in Tampa handed me a grapefruit wedge with a pinch of kosher salt on it at Easter and I ate it just to be polite. The salt killed the bitter aftertaste completely and made the sweet parts taste way sweeter, so now I do it to every grapefruit I bring home. Am I the only one who missed this for 40 years or did your family do this too?
