I ran a SN simulation with Table Salt

[esistzeit]

I was curious about how it'd taste so I drank a mixture of 25g of table salt with 50mL of water.

It was really, really salty and I was immediately hit by nausea.

My throat hurt slightly so I chewed some gum to make it a little better - it worked.

I didn't feel any pain but my stomach felt bad, unpleasant, not right I felt like I could vomit if I tried but I didn't want to, so I didn't.

I felt sick for the next 2 hours and didn't eat anything for another 8. I just wanted it to stop. I drank more water to dissolve the excess salt in my system; it may have helped.

Through this test I learned I underestimated the unpleasantry of drinking SN. Granted, I will not remain conscious for an entire hour after drinking it but now I know what the first few minutes are going to be like. Hopefully the antiemetics prevent this feeling and I fall unconscious quickly.

If you're also curious about the taste, make the mixture but take only 1 single sip. Don't be dumb like me.

I'm going to need a few days to mentally recover from this...

I've been thinking about doing the same for a few months. I'm gonna go get it setup as i'm curious. Did you drink the whole thing or just a few sips?
Hm, doing some reading into it, it would appear the lethal amount of standard table salt is around (if not lower) than 25g.
— 30 minutes later —

Just did it, added a dash of milk for the color. Took a sip. Very salty, kind of nice though?

I'm not sure, I thought it would much be worse.

I kept it in my mouth for a few seconds just to try get used to it, certainly an interesting experience that I may continue doing up until my time. Hopefully if I do that enough it will lessen the SI when i'm at my bus stop.

Throat feels warm, no signs of needing to vomit just yet.

Going to be an interesting night considering it was technically a lethal dosage of normal salt lol.

For those curious, who wish to replicate: Either use boiling water & stir like crazy, or, do what I did: Measure it all out in a normal (tall, thin) glass, boil some water, put the glass into the boiling water (but don't let the boiling water into it) and stir. This is essentially a double boiler, very useful.

You'll need to drink it fast once you take it out of your boiler setup though, as otherwise the salt will fall out of solution.

Will keep you updated on any symptoms I face.

hi friends, I can't edit this message anymore so please heed this warning instead: Don't do the full amount, i'm in a lot of pain. take a sip at most.

Can you instead add more water than is actually needed? I was planning to add it in a soup or broth what do you think? Like 30 gr of me and one big bottle of broth.

I think this might increase the chance of vomiting??

Okay what if you dissolve it in water and then you add It on actual food? Like potatoes very bland food , a man in Italy was poisoned by his step son by eating pasta even if it was very salty he managed to eat a whole plate.

Maybe? I still wouldn't recommend it. It's been a few days and I am still very very unwell. Drinking extra water would help, but you are still taking a fairly lethal dosage of salt. This was not a pleasant experience at all. If you want to simulate the taste of SN follow my guide but take a single sip only.
