On a pottery salt and pepper set both with 6 holes, which one is salt? Only difference is signs on the sides?

Question

One sign is like a grid for playing noughts and crosses. The other is like a sail on a yacht - two vertical sides are shaped like a C - there's a line joining the Cs at the bottom - there's a dot between the Cs at the top of the sign.

Answer 1

the salt is always the single hole and pepper is the condiment with many holes i worked as a waitress for a while lol

Answer 2

It probably doesn't matter, the patterns are there for u to tell the difference

Answer 3

usually the salt cellar has only one hole and the pepper has more,however in this case the clue may be the sail of a yacht sea water being salty,the other being pepper.got to admit i've not come across a set like this.

Answer 4

Do you ever get the feeling that you completely wasted your time telling us that BOTH pots HAVE SIX HOLES yet you still get told that "the one with one hole is for salt" .....! ! !

I would suggest that in fact one of them has the wrong top on it - and there's another pair just like it floating around except they both have single holes! The decorations are just that - purely decorative because nobody expects to look at the sides of cruet pots - you just go by the top!

Answer 5

I'd hazard a guess that the noughts and crosses sign signifies a grid with lots of holes = pepper and the two C's with the single dot= salt as the single dot is like a single hole!
