I participated in a "crank science" study, where a bunch of us took salt alternative daily to see if the added potassium explained the success of the so-called "potato diet".

Salt alternatives taste like sipping a freshly blended nine volt battery. My big contribution to the project was discovering that the stuff is mostly tolerable when dissolved in cranberry juice.

I mix potassium-based salt alternative into my food and I barely notice it.

Fun fact: The potassium salt is mildly radioactive: http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph241/gilpin1/
