The chemistry burn is real! Someone claimed "salty attracts salty" with a cute cartoon, but our fact-checker swooped in with actual science. Salt (NaCl) is hygroscopic - it attracts water molecules to dissolve itself, increasing entropy (ΔS) in the universe. This is why salt gets clumpy in humid environments and why we use it to melt ice on roads. The thermodynamic drive toward maximum disorder wins again! Whoever made the original post is probably feeling pretty... dissolved right now.
Salty Attracts Salty? False!
