Scary Spice

For when shakers aren't enough.

How many times have you gone to salt, pepper or hot-sauce your food only to get a cramp in your elbow from all that shaking? Spices just don't come out fast enough. Ever. That's why a designer named Zhu Fei came up with this little doozy:

It's a gun that, well, to quote Geekologie:

The Spice Gun is different from the other casters, it has more fun! When you pull the trigger it compresses the air in the air bag. The handspike will push the bottom of the seasoning bottle to make the nozzle in the turntable retract and spray the seasoning.

Of course the folks at the Hot Sauce Blog are all over this. Still unclear whether the thing is in production, but lord knows that as soon as spice-craving loonies get their hands on this, waiver wings will seem like child's play. Obviously, this will lead to shooting-cayenne-in-the-face competitions, and that will lead to a YouTube revolution. Stay tuned.
