Welcome to BikeForums!
And as CAJohn mentions above, the thread drift in this thread isn't that bad ... it remained generally on the topic of the title of the thread.
To CAJohn ... I have heard the name "Light Salt" too. The nice thing about carrying a small container of HalfSalt or Light Salt or whatever it's called where you are, is that not only can you sprinkle it into your water before you set off riding, but you can sprinkle it on your food at lunch and dinner. It does double duty ... you'd likely be carrying salt on a tour anyway ... might as well carry a salt with potassium in it. An inexpensive way to get your electrolytes.
