Thanks for this detailed reply. It's a bit heavy all this chemistry stuff. I just thought if I ordered salted crisps I would get salt. It's 50% of the name of the product. They have stolen most of the salt so it's taking the piss . Take the sugar off sugar donuts and the fat crew would burn greggs to the ground.Could be that they've replaced the Sodium Chloride with Potassium Chloride? Reduces the Sodium content of the crisps so they advertise as "45% less salt" as people are trying to reduce salt intake and it easier to understand at a glance than "45% less Sodium". Still probably has the same amount of "salt" in there but it's a Potassium salt rather than a Sodium salt.
The "45% less Sodium" I mentioned above would likely be incorrect as they can mess with the percentages reported by using either atomic weight of sodium (~23 g/mol) or molecular weight of Sodium Chloride (~58.5 g/mol) depending on which one gives a better percentage for their marketing blurb.
It's not just a stupid little thing that bugs me, either.
I do that sometimes, and there's a reason.Folk who get in to an elevator, then stand looking at each other waiting for it to read their minds and automatically move upwards or downwards.
You can have positive critique: saying that Pep’s done a good job at City is critiquing his work.What's happened to the words criticise and criticism? Everything is critiqued nowadays.
