Post-Nuclear War Mutant Salt Shakers, anyone?

Clayton Cramer said that a Thai restaurant was handing them to customers, but he found them "disturbing."

It's not the first time this has happened, but once again, I must regretfully disagree with Cramer.

I mean, just look at these!

I think they're incredibly cool and I want a set! In fact, I almost feel like flying to Boise, Idaho, renting a car and then driving to the Sad Wa Dee Restaurant in Meridian, to beg for a set.

BTW, the Sad Wa Dee has been favorably reviewed and rated four stars.

But the salt and pepper shakers are so beautifully disturbing I'd rate them a five!

UPDATE: Things are more disturbing than I thought. After exhaustively searching the Internet for mutant salt and pepper shakers, and "weird" salt and pepper shakers, I finally stumbled onto the mutants. Only they're not intended to be mutants; they're "huggies" -- and they're supposed to be placed together in a syrupy sickly-sweet display of saccharin schmaltziness....

Like this:

Ugh!

Reminds me of the expression "you can't hug your kid with nuclear mutants."

Or was that "nuclear mutants are for hugging"?

Maybe Clayton Cramer was right to find them disturbing....
