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

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. ๐Ÿ˜‚
