How cute is this set of three TALKING seasoning dispensers? Each dispenser features a mouth that is shaped in the phonetic representation of what's inside it.

The set features the phonetic mouthing of [soy sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-soy-sauce), [salt and pepper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maldon-salt-gift-set).

I love this set. It's so cute that the seasoning comes out of the mouth. It's a plus that the mouth is actually pronouncing it as well.

The TALKING [seasoning set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasoning-sachets) is designed by *Nendo*.

**Implications** - This would be a great gift for the chatty Kathy in anyone's life, or perhaps as a gift for yourself. These phonetic mouth dishes are undoubtedly a fun way to spice up a cup of java in the morning, or way to end the evening with.
