ELI5: Howcome when I drink salty sea-water I vomit but drinking water while eating heavily salted popcorn is fine?

There is much much much more salt in salt water.  When you eat popcorn then drink water you are essentially diluting the salt content.  When drinking salt water you aren't diluting anything,  but you are increasing your body's salt content. (edit to fix auto correct - lol)
