  Hot In The Hive: Good Chemistry Salt and Pepper Shakers

  The things that usually live on a kitchen table are not the first things that come in mind when we think of cool design. From napkin holders to salt and pepper shakers, those everyday utilitarian items are often taken for granted. I used to have a boss who obsessively collected unique salt and pepper shakers, so I got in the habit of keeping my eyes open. Who knew that there was a whole world of salt and pepper shakers that were completely different from the typical glass cylinders with metal caps? Shakers come in all shapes and sizes like a rooster and hen set I found one day! If you're a science geek or know one, then the Good Chemistry salt and pepper shakers are perfect for you. Labeled with their scientific names (well, one is completely made up but still very clever!) there's no confusing which is which. Next time you need some salt at the kitchen table, why don't you ask to "pass the NaCl"?
