Sorry, a stable genius already beat you in the ideation game. But, here’s the math:
No, it comes from Himalay. Everybody knows that.

They buried that one, unfortunately.
They are sodium based, but sodium chloride is already oxidized to its highest state. You would have to find a reducing agent (something to act as an electron donor) to break it up. But then you’d be left with who knows what, including chlorine gas. Which is problematic.
Well…damn.
Understatement of the year.
Reminds me of something I saw today.

Climate scientists saying for decades the weather will no longer be normal and as soon as it happens deniers are all shocked face picachu and think the government can manufacture weather like this on demand. Absolute fucking morons

I didn’t have the heart to tell him that the U.S. formally switched to SI units (metric system) in 1975. At least for important things. It was just too expensive to change all the street signs.
It was in jest. Anyways, no water treatment facilities in the USA are measured in liters per day, no water planning is done in liters/day, no rates are in dollars/liter, etc. I was taught we adopted the metric system, my textbooks reflected that, but never in practice was it used.
ETA: how many liters do you fill your tank with last time, what’s the price at the pump?

Most of the U.S. data I deal with from refineries, power plants, chem plants, etc. is still, even today, in imperial units. Data from almost anywhere else in in SI.
I prefer SI for most things, but, for me, imperial units work better for machined parts and assemblies. Probably mostly because every company I’ve worked for used imperial units for their manufacturing drawings. The basic unit of precision in imperial units is the thousandths of an inch (0.001 in.). In SI, the basic unit of precision is a hundredth of a millimeter (0,01 mm) which is 0.0039 in. A lot of moving clearances run between 0.003 and 0.006 in. and it makes the dimensioning ungainly. It can lead to too much precision (and therefore too much cost) or inadequate precision for the function. I’m sure those “raised up” with SI deal with it easily, but I prefer the old timey imperial system for gizmos and gadget design.
We still measure oil in barrels. Which is different than a barrel of beer. Which is different than a barrel of cranberries. Which is different than a barrel of wheat…turns out, a “barrel” is pretty much whatever volume you want it to be. Nothing is more American, by gum.

A standard barrel of wine is either 228 L (Burgundy style) or 225 L (Bordeaux style). There are other vessel sizes but that’s your typical barrel.
Also, the wine is industry is funny. TTB requires measurements on the label to be in metric (mL), but all of our reporting is Imperial (gal. for bulk/bottled wine and lbs. for uncrushed grapes).
ETA - for anyone wondering, a standard case of wine (9L) is 2.37753 gal.
