Wikipedia quotes an LD50 of 2.6 g/kg in rats, so assuming (big assumption) that the figure is similar for humans, an average 80 kg human would need to consume 208 g of the stuff. Which is probably the whole container's worth.
I'm sure you'd die of other problems from eating that much salt before you die of KCl poisoning.
Also depends on how that LD50 was measured. Oral lethal dose is a lot higher than intravenous.
Fun fact: KCl is used in lethal injections to stop the heart.
Yes, the method of intake is oral. The intravenous lethal dose is irrelevant in this conversation. Nobody is injecting salt in their veins.
