How soon until those salt and pepper shakers become “smart” so we have to use our phones to operate them? Will they send us a text telling us they need to be refilled, or will they automatically order refills from some etailer?
When I gave blood last month, the tech told me that the pink band she used is great for opening jars. She said she’d never notice if I slipped it into my purse.I LOVE that band! I wrap it around pickle jars, olive jars – anything I can’t open, and it works like a charm. I had to give more blood last week and one slipped into my purse for my sister,
Some time ago I read a story of a guy inviting his girlfriend to dinner at his home with his parents. The girlfriend had trouble with the saltshaker even though she could the salt inside. Turns out his parents were frugal and had put the salt from bag of pretzels in the saltshaker. Definitely could have used an electric salt grinder.
I’ve been known to attach a cordless drill to a pepper mill when I need a half-cup of freshly ground pepper for a dry rub. Too bad I can’t post it or a URL here.

Manual pepper mills are torture for those with arthritis of the hands.

I like my salt to come out of the million year old salt mines. Sea salt has micro plastics, so has lost it’s appeal as a marketing vector.

Uh, the whole point is that you don’t shake them, and you get freshly ground seasonings.

How do you refill these gizmos? With my arthritis, it’s become difficult to open & close (properly) the ordinary shakers when filling them.

I married a dietician, and our saltshaker disappeared “mysteriously”, about 10 years ago. How I miss that little sucker.

Hey Earl look at it this way, you are no longer a Boomer, you are now a Gen Z’er. Just watch out, in case Opal decides you need some gages.

They only cost $20 each and are non-refillable so once their empty you have to buy two new ones.
