Handgun Salt and Pepper Shakers Encourage Violent Seasoning

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Amateur cooks forget all too often that every single item of food must be properly seasoned. So if you need novelty shakers to motivate you to hit up your eats with some S&P, that's just fine with us.

These shakers are modeled after the M1911 handgun, which I'm assured is a "legendary" model. They're available for about $21, so if you feel like your cookery needs more weaponry, head on over and buy 'em up. [via Nerd Approved]

Salt and Pepper Cell: Shake Those Double D's

These Salt & Pepper cell shakers are kinda backwards; they're stored in cupboards while actual batteries are stored in your fridge. If you were high, that would have blown your mind.

They're not for sale yet since Antrepo Design is waiting for someone to manufacture them. [Antrepo via Fubiz via Dvice]

Self Defense with the Pepper Spray Ring

The Stunning Ring may look harmless, and cheap, but is actually hiding a powerful pepper spray. It uses the strongest formula of pepper spray available—400 times stronger than a jalepeno pepper. Release the safety catch, press the trigger and you get a 12-inch spray that will cause temporary visual impairment, coughing, choking, sneezing, severe burning sensations to the eyes and nausea, which should last for 45 minutes. Ouch.

The rings are available in "gold" or "silver," and cost $29.95 each. Don't worry if you're a little trigger happy —refills are only $7.95. [Protect Yourself Direct]

LEGO Salt 'n Pepper Shakers

This design from Joel Hesselgren is the most ingenious use of LEGO for food consumption that we've seen since the LEGO dragon soy sauce and mayonnaise dispenser. The white column holds the salt while the black column holds the pepper, and the amount of each is regulated by how many of the holes are covered at once. You can get an equal distribution of salt and pepper, a 2:1, or just one or the other. Ingenious, and something we'd actually like to see in buyable form. [Yanko Design via Gearlog]
