Salt & Pepper Bots

Constant readers know that one of my long-time obsessions is (are?) salt & pepper shakers.

I also have a thing for robots, most likely the result of my belief that we are living in a simulation and therefore are ourselves — you, me, and everyone you know — bots.

You don't believe me?

Read Oxford University philosophy professor Nick Bostrom's 2003 Philosophical Quarterly paper entitled "Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?" on why it's more likely than not we are living in a simulation, then come back and rethink your position.

What, you're back already?

You say you never left?

Some people.

But I digress.

From the bot shaker website:

..............................

Well, it was inevitable.

Passing the salt by hand just isn't efficient enough in a world of bullet trains, pizza delivery, and broadband.

Fortunately, the condiments have now come to life.

Salt & Pepper Bots will waddle wherever you tell them to.

Wind them up and — like mini Terminators — they'll march across the table to wage war on bland food.

Details and Features:

• No more reaching across the table

• Robot shakers will march to you

• 3.5"H x 2"W x 1.25"D

• Food-grade plastic
