>>8. Salt plus vinegar makes HCl.

HCL is Hydrochloric Acid, and adding salt to vinegar does NOT HCL make.
Where is everyone comming up with all this wrong information?

It is an old hand's way of cleaning copper plate for gravure. Put salt on

acetic acid to sodium chloride ?

It is not done to make it taste nice.
