Ok this set is cute and all, but super unwieldy looking:
I should not feel a need to use 2 hands for a simple shaker. Being collector's items, I wouldn't use them anyway, but that's beside the point.
Imagine an entire spice rack with the entire fleet parked in your kitchen pantry
These come out with the good silverware for guests, obviously.
When it's time to break out the fancy communicators.
I feel like a Trekkie collecting those instead of the hourglass ones is like letting Dr. Elsa pick your Holy Grail for you.
"That's the salt shaker of a low-budget sci-fi show!"
The cardboard set of a Carpenter. ;) It just occurred to me that Dr. Elsa didn't just make a mistake in choosing the gaudy one first, did she? She purposely chose it to get rid of that guy who drank from it. Then, she screamed when he became all corpsified and gross, but it was all an act to gain sympathy from the others. ELSA KNEW.
I still want them. I want to put them between my MST3k funko pops and my MASH vodka IV bottle.
I showed this to my wife and a few minutes later she shared an ebay listing for the Stelton wood and chrome shakers like the ones used for McCoy's laser scalpel, and now a pair are headed to us.
"I was just thinking yesterday we needed better shakers."
Those will look so good next to the Romulan ale decanters!
No person in history has ever used one of those phaser-shakers for salt or pepper, right?
