Gadgets 'n Stuff: Rubik's Cube Salt and Pepper Mills

Rubik's Cube Salt and Pepper Mills
Remember Rubik's Cube? That wildly popular yet maddeningly frustrating 1980's white-red-blue-orange-green-yellow puzzle box that left all but the genius few stuck for hours trying to figure that darn contraption out? While I never personally owned one, I did break a couple in my day (temper tantrums fueled by my inability to make even one row of colors line up!), but now I have a splendid solution with which to redeem myself.

Well, sort of.

Thinking of the one (or two in tandem, in this case) item that is used practically every day in the kitchen, this little beauty seems almost as remarkable as the very Rubik's Cube Itself. Put away the Sugar Pops cereal, forget about the peanut butter and jelly sandwich and press the pause button on the playback of that old episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's time to turn the kitchen upside down!


Bring some whimsy home with the Rubik's Cube Salt and Pepper Mills.


With allegedly the same sound and feel in your hands as the classic puzzle when you grind, now you can grindcoarse or fineto your heart's content. Simply rotate the top layer of the cube and you're on your way to seasoning your food with an 80's twist!

This item can be found all over the web, but it appears that the manufacturing of it has been discontinued. ABCDistributing.com has it for a great price, but unfortunately it appears as if they're out of stock as of this writing since there's no link to purchase it.

ThinkGeek carries a version of this as well as Amazon and Perpetual Kid.

So let your inner kid out and grind away!
