@acrow Xylitol has almost the same taste as saccharose - it's just sweet. You only taste the difference if you eat some pure xylitol in which case you get a very faint trace of mint.
Not that faint to me. I can easily tell apart stuff sweetened with xylitol. But I guess it depends on the person.
And there's no such thing as a "variant of ammonium chloride" - it's just the stuff, only in food-grade purity.
I seem to remember from my high-school chemistry classes that there were two isomers of it. One more toxic than the other. It was decades ago though, so I admit that I may be wrong.

Nice job photochopping the girl over the treadmill, by the way.
Such size ratio. Much alignment. Wow.

For some reason I was completely in a different interpretation. I guessed there was something wrong with a midwife and the newborn was not as expected.

@Gąska There was a period of time in which my sister drank coffee with salt (intentionally). Apparently she tried it on Cyprus or somewhere and liked it.
A few years ago when we were living in a town with extremely polluted tap water where you had to even boil your pasta with precious purified water, I left a pot of water on the stove one day because we had wanted to cook pasta when a friend dropped by with takeaway for all, so I just left it to cool and reuse the next day instead of throwing it out. Next morning my wife made coffee with it. My first reaction was "oh, this coffee is good, what did you do with it?" - "hum, nothing really, let me try ... yeah, interesting taste, no idea, I just used the water from the pot" - "the pasta water with the salt!?"
After we'd realized it was salt, the coffee became totally undrinkable, disgusting stuff. I suppose you can make a positive difference by using only a pinch but I never tried to find out just how much, no need to consume even more sodium.

Isomers are usually (always? At least I can't find anything) organic. Ammonium chloride is very much inorganic - plus, there's not much to be shuffled around, 3 hydrogen, one nitrogen and one chloride. It's not complex enough to even begin thinking about isomerism.

@jinpa No. They're worlds apart. Salmiakki (the chemical molecule) is a salt. It tastes a peculiar kind of salty.
Whereas tar tastes like more like a combination of thick pine smoke and armpit.It doesn't help that half of all salmiakki in the candy isle has some other flavor mixed in. Usually menthol, xylitol, tar, peppermint, chilli pepper or something else extreme. If the package mentions "good for your throat", you can bet it tastes like a yeti dropping.
I kept thinking this was licorice that you were talking about. I am so confused.
No. But after seeing the Wikipedia redirect from Salmiakki to "Salty Liquorice", I can see the confusion.
Let me state it plainly and explicitly then:
Salmiakki is a salt. More specifically, it is a (non-toxic) variant of Ammonium Chloride . It can be bought by the kilogram as a powder from the chemical factory, and some candy aisles carry it as a powder mixed with a bit of sugar.
It has nothing to do with liquorice, which is "flavoured [...] with the extract of the roots of the liquorice plant".One possible source of confusion is that, althought the basic salmiakki salt is white, the end product is usually (but not always) colored black with additives, to prevent it being confused with mints. Liquorice came to Finland much later, after the convention of black colored salmiakki-taste candy was established.
I also think that liquorice is one of the more common things that it's spiced with salmiakki that foreigners encounter.
I've been thinking about buying a bucket of salmiakki for when I bake, speaking of using it in non liquorice ways.

Well, there's cisplatin and transplatin (listed directly on the Wikipedia page on the topic), which are non-organic and yet have two forms (because platinum forms planar complexes).

I seem to remember the dude ranch I worked on in Colorado during the summer (worked in the kitchen my jr/sr high school summers) did that. It was just a pinch in a full pot. (I never did that...)

I've made coffee with a bit of salt. I remember reading about someone doing it in a novel (some Tom Clancy thing?). Seemed OK. Not a huge difference. I should try it again. I like salt.

Keanu Reaves isn't bad, having been in both Johnny Mneumonic and then the Matrix stuff. Aside from the second image there literally using the word "Cyberpunk" I wouldn't think of any of that stuff.
This would be something that would come quickly to mind based on the word cyberpunk:
