Kitchen gadgets

Why do I want this salt pig? Maybe because I'm tired of opening and closing a torn plastic bag to get sea salt. Or maybe because I have a thing for kitchen gadgets. Spending close to $40 for what is basically a ceramic bowl to hold salt is a little ridiculous, but this design is clearly superior to its cheaper cousins. It is functional, I would use it, and it would look cool in my kitchen. And I would get purple or green, or, since this is a fancy-pants salt pig made in France, "fig" ou "vert."
