These bolt-shaped salt-and-pepper shakers use a tight spring coil in place of the threaded shaft. The hollow of the coil is filled with pepper or salt, which is then dispensed by bending the bolts, creating gaps between the coil.

This looks messy, like the salt and pepper would get caught in the springs between uses. Cute idea, though.
Yeah, I think I'd get more of it on my hands (than in the food).
