Coffee Pot Packaging

One more set of salt & pepper shakers—this one from ArtStudioMgr’s Flickr Photostream. I really like its glowing coils. (Is it fluorescent paint?) I had decided not to include this image in the previous post because the shakers are little coffee pots, rather than little retail packages. But then I remembered that sometimes coffee pots can be retail packages! (See photo below of 1960s Sanka & Maxwell House Instant Coffee packaging from RoadsidePictures’ Flickr Photostream below.)

So now that we’ve established that coffee pots are, indeed, packaging... about these salt & pepper shakers...

I was just thinking, that to distinguish the salt from the pepper it would be nice if one of them had an orange handle. But which is more analogous to decaffeinated coffee: salt or pepper?
