I almost always call it potassium nitrate, so that's what I voted, but "Cesspit Crystals" really takes my fancy :lol:

BTW, a few of other names I've seen: "Chinese Snow," "White Gold," "Salniter," "Nitric Acid, Potassium Salt," "Nitre," "Salpractica," "Salpertica," and "Salbratica." The last three were actually used to distinguish between different grades of the salt.

I'm used to KNO3 probbably because in a lot of the books I've read they have used the chemical formula as compaed to the name so I have to go with KNO3.
