And it's outright pointless to sprinkle it over meats, it's like dropping a bucket of water in the ocean.

Hard disagree.

I've experimented a lot with my meats (I like to bbq steaks and make jerky) and seasonings, and I can definitely notice a huge improvement when I use Accent (pure MSG) over when I don't, even when it's the only thing not shared between two pieces of meat cooked together.

Salt + pepper is good.

Salt + pepper + MSG is even better.

Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and MSG is the GOAT.
