A Sprinkle of Salt and Pepper Helps the Debt Go Down

Drowning in Debt Salt and Pepper Shakers by Sebastian Errazuriz

Says Errazuriz, “Like so many of us, these two humble workers have found themselves buried under an inescapable debt. Whether its debt or unemployment, these two little salt and pepper shakers humbly attempt to represent the struggle that is the sign of our times.”

“As soon as the seasonings are used the two workers slowly emerge, only to find that they will soon be covered again.” More at Kikkerland and Sebastian Errazuriz. [more]

While I am suspicious of the term “worker” I thought the design was clever and timely. Sadly O, I don’t think Meechell would approve these for use at White House state dinners.

    I think the figurines should have their hands around their throats and their faces should look like they’re choking.

    Shouldn’t there be another shaker with the Statute of Liberty in it?
