Can I use lemon juice instead of vinegar?

Absolutely! Lemon juice works just as well - the acidity creates the same bubbling reaction. I sometimes use it when I want to avoid the vinegar smell in my kitchen.

What if there's no reaction at all?

Don't panic yet! First, check if your salt dissolved completely. Undissolved salt won't react properly. Still nothing? Yeah... you might have fake salt. Time to find a new supplier!

Will this work with other colored salts?

Nope! This trick specifically tests for pink salt's unique mineral content. Black salt or grey salt won't react the same way - they've got different minerals at play.

Can I reuse the water for multiple tests?

I wouldn't! Fresh water each time gives you the clearest results. Besides, it only takes seconds to pour a new glass - why risk confusing results?
