You would vomit everything up even before you've swallowed it all. it must be an excruciating and impractical experience.

Regular salt? It would hurt a lot. An article online said that it would give you a fever, fast heartrate, and also cause vomiting and spasms.

This woman consumed 1 kg of salt and only went unconscious 11 hours later.

I've heard plain table salt is an awful way to go. It takes a lot of salt and a long, excruciating time.

Maybe but there are easier ways to die

I don't know how in the world would you be able to even consume that much salt. If taken with water, it would likely just go through your digestion like a saltwater flush.

Look up LD50 of table salt.

75-150 grams of sodium nitrate will kill you. There was for example a case of a woman who drank a whole bottle of soy sauce in one go and was found dead the next morning.

But the thing is, it tastes really salty. and it's hard to make yourself take so much something so salty. I've tried.

There are also causes where people have drank 3 litres of water in one go and died. But I don't know if that would be peaceful or not.

Salt is an old school way to induce vomiting.

NOT recommended, though.

I don't even want to know what it would be like if it failed. Or how to even consume that much salt in the first place.

You'd never get to consuming even half that…

Seems like it would be impossible to ingest that much as others have commented

Are we talking a bag of rock salt, or like, a salt lamp? It would need to fall from a very great height to hit you on the head with enough deadly force. Even then it's a maybe.
