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.
I’ve always done this then, use the leftover flavor pack (salt) for seasoning a more homemade meal.
I have so many leftover packets because I always make mine with better than bullion, hoisin sauce, and chili flakes.
Better than bullion ftw.
Soooo good!
I moved to Germany and the only products I’ve requested from visitors are better than bouillon and molasses.

€34?! Why?
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…)
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.
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.
😂 absolute gold
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.
Half the sodium, double the chloride! Perfection 👌
Quadruple the reactivity!
...
(I am not a chemist, and I am not your chemist. These statements should not be construed as chemistry advice.)
I can have my own chemist? I can keep them?
We have chemist at home
Chemist at home:
Should have posted this one
Chloride, not chlorine
I think they meant chlorine, as in Cl2 (g). Certainly not edible, thus the joke.
Chloride is the ionic form
Right, and that's the form it's in in both NaCl and KCl
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)
I'm proud to report that my chemistry is just barely good enough to follow this comment. 😂
I mean technically... At least half of the elemental construction of both of those ingredients is chlorine... So... Technically it is.
By weight or by molarity?
Molarity.
If my quick calculations are right it's 53% chlorine ions by weight
