Depends on the salinity of tears, which I do not know off-hand. What I do know is that brine is a specific salinity of water - saltier would be salt water, and less salty would be brackish water. I would suspect tears are probably brackish. I'd open another tab, but that would require shifting in my chair a little bit to move the mouse more, and I don't want to do that right now.

I think the funny tasting part of fresh feta cheese brine is just cheese juice. I kind of thought the juice tasted kind of how cheap soap smells, but fuck if I know, I've only bough the fresh stuff from the Arabs.
