This is sold as crystal cat litter. Very useful to put a sock in the car, the boat or the check-in luggage.

Careful with check-in luggage. Apparently it might be mistaken for crystal meth [1].

Yes, I imagine in Singapore: - Is this chrystal meth, lah? - No, it's cat litter. - You stoopid, that is even worse!
