"Pure sodium"
OP is as deranged as Morton.
Being somebody who has to watch their sodium intake due to heart health concerns I would say that Morton is not at all deranged in creating this especially considering I've got a container of it sitting on my spice rack right now.
Though it should be noted I do my best not to think about the fact that KCL is used in lethal injections. 😒 I just thank the gods I don't have any ulcers.
Potassium is totally normal and required by the body. It’s actually hard to get the RDA of potassium.
It’s just that too much stops your heart.
It’s also important to note that unless you’re on medication that prevents your body from releasing it (such as spironolactone) it’s extremely hard to od on it. Your body can release it in the urine if you have a bit too much
It's more the pure sodium part. Stop, drop, and roll would be a lot more important if it was pure sodium.
Yes LoL, I referenced that in a joke further down the post. 💥😂

It has an additional use, too.
The non-"salt" ingredient here, potassium chloride, is the "harder to find" ingredient in a simple four ingredient rehydration solution.
The other ingredients are sodium chloride, sugar, and water.
So equal parts this and sugar in a glass of water and you've got yourself the world health organization's answer to dehydration.
"Morton"
The 't' is silent
Not at all the statement of a moron: in colloquial usage yeah, salt is sodium chloride, but in in a chemistry setting it is not just sodium chloride. In this case it probably has potassium chloride --- a sodium-free salt.
