minus-square👍Maximum Derek👍@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoSalt water is usually very salty. Plus salt is a flavor enhancer and people don’t want their plain water to have flavor. In the right environment, though, salty water is fine. Gatorade’s 3rd or 4th ingredient is table salt.
