I remember reading that ammonium chloride / “sal ammoniac” / salmiakki was probably first discovered by ancient egyptians. They found natural deposits of it condensed in a ceiling of a cave or something similar. And naturally someone just had to taste it.
I just want to know what madman took a look at some fertilizer and thought “hey… what if we put this stuff in candy?”
i think the food use is older, it’s been used at least since roman times.

Well, then what madman thought “we should take this candymaking ingredient and spread it on our fields to improve plant growth”?
Major “Brawndo, it’s what plants crave” vibes.
probably a finn
