Skull Salt and Pepper Shakers

Mark Cline emailed me in February 2010, saying, "I bought something I think is pretty damn tacky but I need your profesional opinion and review on it." Attached was a photograph of the most ghoulish set of salt and pepper shakers I have ever seen.

It's a little under the average size for a skull. On the other hand, the salt and pepper shakers themselves are large, and on that count, they'd be useful for a large event. But your guests probably wouldn't notice that as they recoil in horror at the way they are being displayed.

Of course this is a tacky treasure, and I'm filing this under "Salt and Pepper Shakers I'll Never Use." To be honest, though, I would probably use them at a Halloween party. I'm going to have to file these under "Seasonal Tacky" as well.
