Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Salt & Pepper Shakers: Your Lack of Seasoning is Disturbing

You know what’s odd? We never ever saw Darth Vader or any of his Stormtroopers stop for a meal. You’d think battling the Jedi-Rebel Alliance and building Death Stars (yes, plural) would work up a mean hunger. And if you are gonna eat a meal, it better be seasoned well. At a bare minimum, you need some salt and pepper.

I think that it’s more likely that the Jedi would use these Darth Vader and Stormtrooper salt and pepper shakers since they kind of reduce the Empire to a role of simple servitude. Naturally, the Vader shaker holds pepper, while the Trooper holds salt.

Designed by Labyrinth, these salt and pepper shakers are made up to look like those annoying traffic cones that always seem to be right in the middle of the lane you just moved into – or in the parking space you were about to take. At least when you knock these over, you won’t risk damaging the undercarriage of your car – but you might end up with some bad luck if you tip the salt over. Spilt pepper, on the other hand, will just make you sneeze.

Each traffic cone shaker measures about 4-inches-tall, and they come in a nice box perfect for gift-giving. The pair sells for $32 to $37(USD) over at the designboom shop, depending on whether you live in Europe or elsewhere around the globe.
