Spot and Pepper robots will perform at spectatorless baseball games in Japan
Nendo made a minimal, no-nonsense pepper-mill
With no complex rotating parts, tolerances, blades, burr grinders, handles, and assemblies, Nendo’s Pepper Pestle is a minimal, elegant storage unit for dried peppercorns that even doubles as a spice crusher. Designed to work as a mortar and a pestle, the Pepper Pestle comprises a hollow frosted glass bottle (which stores the corns) with finger dimples on either side for an easy grip, and gentle ridges on the bottom that hold and crush the peppercorns against a glass tray that also doubles up as a resting platform for the bottle.
The bottle comes with a corkstop that secures the peppercorns inside it with an airtight seal, retaining the spice’s freshness. Whenever you want some ground pepper, pour some out onto the tray and grind the spice till you reach the consistency you desire. The ground pepper collects in the concavity in the tray, and can directly be poured into your food to season it to perfection!

These spice shakers embody the literal beauty of seasons and seasoning!
The Four Seasons shakers are quite literally perfection. Capturing four different types of seasoning, and embodying them in snow-globe-esque containers, Qualy Design’s Four Seasons shakers are just simply clever and adorable at the same time. Not only are they well designed, the absolutely witty wordplay makes the product even more lovable!
You’ve got four shakers that embody four different seasons, and hold four different seasonings. Designed for salt, pepper, dried herbs, and chili flakes, the shakers come with plants on the inside that pair well with the seasoning. The salt shaker has a fir tree, making the salt crystals look like snowflakes forming a rich white layer on the floor. The pepper shaker comes with a cactus inside, turning the shaker into an arid desert scene (make sure you use white pepper for proper effect!) For the dried herbs, you’ve got a regular fern, while the herbs look almost like a bed of aromatic grass, and lastly, the chili flakes shaker comes with a barren tree, making the flakes look like shed leaves in autumn. Sheer genius, isn’t it?!

Pepper Robot Takes Coffee Orders, Too Lazy to Serve It
Robots are starting to pop up in a variety of places – especially in Japan. This SoftBank Pepper humanoid robot working at one of the company’s smartphone stores, and offers a customer coffee while she waits. Awww. Isn’t enslavement cute?
Honestly, I’m not sure what the point is here because the robot doesn’t actually serve her the coffee. It doesn’t really do anything except run it’s mouth the entire time and makes me want to punch it. I guess it tells the coffee machine what to make, but the lady still has to do all of the work while this useless robot just watches. Nice move, Softbank. Maybe next you can invent a robot that will actually perform the requested task.
At least this ‘bot will remember customers’ faces and their preference of coffee for their next visit to the stores. That’s something at least.

The Salt-bae Shaker!
He’s clearly 2017’s meme of the year! The Turkish chef took everyone by storm with the way he salted his meat steak with dripping swag. The Pinch salt and pepper shakers are designed to be gripped in a similar fashion, as compared to the way we grip regular salt and pepper shakers. These shakers pay tribute to the classic way of sprinkling a ‘pinch’ of salt on your food, but we can’t help but reference Salt Bae! Now it’s stuck in your heads too!
