Chinese rock salt?

Chinese rock salt?

Just got back from Home Depot, they have skids of road salt all marked "Product of China". Mindboggling that it's cheaper to ship it halfway around the world than to produce it here.

Also wonder what besides calcium chloride is in there. :shock:

Hey, they gotta do something with their nuclear waste. Why do you think it melts so good?
