Yeah but it says right on the front that it's half potassium chloride and half sodium chloride.

It'd be funnier if the package was just half empty

Let me introduce you to the rapid ramen cooker, a microwaveable tray that claims to make ramen with only half the regular amount of sodium.

You know how the cooker enables this?

You add half the flavor packet.

Can't make this shit up.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’ve always done this then, use the leftover flavor pack (salt) for seasoning a more homemade meal.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I have so many leftover packets because I always make mine with better than bullion, hoisin sauce, and chili flakes.

I moved to Germany and the only products I’ve requested from visitors are better than bouillon and molasses.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That’s why I’ve requested it 😂 It’s not cheap in the US, but it’s well under $10 (though it’s been a few years of inflation…)

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

😂 absolute gold

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nothing better than selling a single-purpose bit of plastic intended to go into the microwave and boil water that is functionally a replacement for a bowl that you presumably already have that expressly states that you can only use it for up to 5 years.

[–] papertowels@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah it's an absolute travesty. At least it seems people have gone the opposite way and it looks like folks use it as a bowl, so there's that.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 8 points 10 months ago

It'd be illegal as as those statements are regulated to a standard serving. Except for net product amount.

Well I'm glad they used KCl, I thought this was going to be a container half-full of chlorine--concerning, if you intend to put it on your food.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 50 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Half the sodium, double the chloride! Perfection 👌

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Quadruple the reactivity!

I can have my own chemist? I can keep them?

Should have posted this one

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)
[–] Phineaz@feddit.org 25 points 10 months ago

I think they meant chlorine, as in Cl2 (g). Certainly not edible, thus the joke.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Beacon@fedia.io 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right, and that's the form it's in in both NaCl and KCl

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Correct and that was the supposed joke. Instead of chloride, the anion, which would occur in some form of a salt, the container would contain half NaCl and the other half just chlorine gas, Cl2. Thereby making the statement (50% less sodium) technically true. (Disregard the pressure you would need to put the same molar amount of gas into the volume of a solid)

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

I'm proud to report that my chemistry is just barely good enough to follow this comment. 😂

[–] NeverNudeNo13 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean technically... At least half of the elemental construction of both of those ingredients is chlorine... So... Technically it is.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Molarity.

If my quick calculations are right it's 53% chlorine ions by weight
