DU! I need help! How many holes do salt & pepper shakers have? [View all]
No seriously I dont know. I DO now know that theres a salt & pepper shaker museum.
AI Overview
There isn't a universal standard for the number of holes in salt and pepper shakers, and the number can vary even within a set. Generally, salt shakers in the US tend to have fewer holes (1 or 2) while pepper shakers might have more (3). This is because people use more salt, and fewer holes on the salt shaker help with control.
