Method Excuse for buying SN (physically)

[Sam57]

Hi, i dont have the privilege of buying SN online and have to get it physically.
Can anyone tell me what excuse can I use - if I am asked what SN is for?
If the seller looks at me suspicious and asks me what I need SN for?
Thanks.

If you are a student you could say you need it for some lab experiments. Or if you are older that it is for your son's chemistry classes.
I remember people suggested "fish aquarium" excuse, apparently SN has a use for that too, but I don't know much about it.

(just google sodium nitrite uses )

Say you're making sausage, jerky or bacon, it's commonly used for that - an excellent reason to know the exact purity too as you'd need to know for safety purposes
