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.

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

Molarity.

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

Half the sodium, double the chloride! Perfection 👌
