'Split' salt and pepper shakers

Research

FOOD TRUCKS

Food trucks often set out condiments, napkins, straws and more on the counter of their truck. This area is small and often crowded so organization is key.

Food trucks often have bright colors and unique aesthetics to draw attention. Many salt and pepper grinder designs on the market do not cater to this look.
