Dandruff Salt Shakers

Pantene Sets Out to Prove That 'Dandruff is Not Appetizing'

Pantene has created dandruff salt shakers to show that while dandruff is disgusting on your scalp, it is even more disgusting on your food.

These salt shakers were created to advertise Pantene's anti-dandruff shampoo. Creative marketing campaigns, like these dandruff salt shakers, make me incredibly happy. I love to see companies break out of the normal print and commercial ads and do something that's sure to stand out.

Implications - My doctor will be happy to know that the dandruff shaker may very well be what finally turns me off salt forever. This disgusting yet clever object is definitely a great gag piece.
