These Salt And Pepper Shakers Filled With Salt And Pepper Packets At My Hotel
Holly Hofmann 9 years ago
I manage a hotel and we do this. The reason behind it is hygienics. It would be wasteful and unpractical to throw out remaining s&p, wash the shakers and replace the s&p between each guest. I know it looks weird, but it's the best solution.

Worst Restaurant Name Of All Time?

I think this might be in the Philippines. The Katipunan (usually abbreviated to KKK) was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish Filipinos in Manila in 1892, whose primary aim was to gain independence from Spain through revolution. [extracted from Wikipedia]
