Pepper is said to taste its best when freshly grounded, and what if it is served by a droid, not just any droid but a cute looking R2-D2 from the Star Wars films? Well that would be a treat! Hard to believe but it is true. This R2-D2 carries abilities to enhance tastes of food as well, at least on the pepper side.
A Japanese company has come up with a pepper grinder in the shape of R2-D2 to please all those Star Wars fans out there. Standing approximately 4.3 inches tall this peppermill looks exactly like the Star Wars droid, only that it does not have all its special tools – the hologram projector, periscope, computer interface, gripping tool, and the taser. However, it has that what no other R2-D2 has had till date – a pepper grinding mechanism.
