Dan Abel,

I was just about to buy a three set of "Trudeau" pepper shakers from
amazon, given the sweet priced deal, but in a matter of hours, the deal
went south.

I was gifted the older Trudeau push button model pepper grinder and haven't
changed the battery yet. Maybe that explains the five minutes it takes to
churn out a single grain of fresh ground pepper? LOL!

Best,

Andy
