That's just your reaction to it!
Mmm, yes. I too love eating metals that explode when they touch water. Extra spicy. It does more than double the sodium content of your salt though, so watch out for that if you have high blood pressure.
Instead we should be replacing the sodium with chlorine!
"This food isn't salty enough" Huffs chlorine "Much better!"

That's exactly what I was going for. Gonna need a lot more na tho.

It is kind of funny how, even though I understand how they cancel out, the unification of two very reactive elements makes harmless salt.
Hydrogen and oxygen are quite reactive as well.
And both water and salt, while vital to human life, are harmful to others. Water is a powerful solvent, and salt can kill snails.
They're just nearly equally reactive in two opposite directions.
You can absolutely make salts with acidic or alkaline properties by altering this careful balance.
It's like two titans fighting until both are dead and peace roams over the valley. Or, more accurately, relentless robber meeting someone who desperately needs to give something away.
The pasta would cook itself
Just don’t put the pasta next to the antipasta.
This sounds like the next thing we should get people riled up with along with the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.
That's right keep telling yourself that.
You just know getting that to happen was the absolute peak crowning achievement of some bureaucrat's career.
Naw the army was dumping all kinds of stuff after WWII. They had built up so much material that this would be a unknown rubber stamp action without that film.
Sorta like the artifical coral reefs the US made out of WWII tanks
We didn't stop there. On the civilian side we decided to get rid of old tires doing the same thing.

Do you want to keep your teeth? How much are you planning on living? I have so many questions.

This is an explosive opinion
Na it wouldn't

Cu later then
You don't say!
I mean if we could get certain people who are deadset on making the world worse to believe this like the do for every other dumb fucking lie (EG: Vaccines and Autism, Fluoride in tap water, etc) this might be productive.
"I'm just gonna salt my pasta a bit and ... "
