Reply to comment by ergonaut in TIL that the USA uses 10x as much salt on the road than they do in processed foods, and was first introduced on the roads in New Hampshire. by madmansmarker
I feel I could have worded the title better. NH was the first place EVER to use salt on its roads (or at least in recorded history).

Also, that's a useless comparison. We don't eat our roads, and we don't worry about slippery food.

I think it’s just a surprising fact to people because salt is in almost everything we eat and a lot of places don’t get snow or ice so don’t salt the roads.
