this is also when the citizens of chicago found out that the morton salt factory is less a "factory" and more a "really confusingly huge pile of salt"

in reply to @Thew's post:
I do remember wondering why they just had a big finished factory room full of salt
i am loosely aware of the fact that salt is mined and not produced like a chemical in factories and then bagged up, but this really drives that home
I’ll see your molten salt reactor and raise you a nuclear salt water rocket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_salt-water_rocket?wprov=sfti1
"In many ways NSWRs combine the advantages of fission reactors and fission bombs" is maybe the most batshit sentence I've ever seen make it past the wiki editors
Wikipedia calls it a storage facility, not a factory, but that really does make me wonder...how DO they produce this salt? Like, it's apparently chemically treated to make it clump up less, too
