Spepper, yes, really

So, this is Spepper. According to OriginalSpepper.com, it's "a precise GOURMET mixture of flake salt and fresh cracked pepper in the same shaker." My apologies for not learning about this stuff in time for Christmas, as I'm sure you're all bitter for not getting a bottle of Spepper in your stockings. I wish I could tell you all that this was a joke, but apparently Spepper has appeared on Unwrapped (another thing I wish wasn't real). Although the Spepper FAQ claims that their pepper is cracked at the Spepper factory and sealed for freshness, anyone who's ever used crushed pepper from a shaker knows that it doesn't hold a candle to freshly cracked peppercorns. I have nothing wrong with seasoning things with a mixture of salt and pepper, but is it that hard to combine them yourself? I suppose, if you're truly lazy, this is the way to go.
