LEGO Salt and Pepper Shakers Exist, So There’s That

I remember back in the early ’90s, it was up to us kids to decide what stuff was made of LEGO. We built things from our own imaginations. Were they good? Almost never. Were they fun? Of course. One time I tried to make a bowl out of LEGO and then actually fill it will cereal and milk. Let’s just say it was not water tight. Made a mess. I was a child. But so ubiquitous is LEGO, and so iconic the visual design, that rather than building everyday objects, you can just already-made ones. Case in point today: LEGO salt and pepper shakers.

The cubic shakers resemble single-peg LEGO studs, 600 times larger, of course. One is black, the other white. As those of us who have been on Earth for at least ten seconds know, most people put salt in the white one and pepper in the black one. I guess you could do the opposite, just to mess with people. According to the product listing on LEGO, these have no age restrictions. So your very boring four year-olds can enjoy these.

Aaaaaaaand that’s kind of it. These are just things that exist. You can get them for $6.99. Pretend you live in Bricksburg or whatever. Everything is awesome.
