Cumin Centipede (Spice Dash Rack)

Cumin Centipede (Spice Dash Rack)
Ever need just a dash of cinnamon or a touch of paprika but your spices all over the kitchen and/or in non-shaker containers?  Cumin Centipede here can hang out on your counter with just the perfect amount of each spice ready to be dispensed instantly! 

Cumin Centipede holds way more than just cumin (that just happens to be the funniest spice to name it after).  It is made up of eight segments each holding a different, oft sprinkled, spice:
  • Cumin
  • Paprika
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Garlic Salt
  • Nutmeg
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Cinnamon
  • Allspice

I have to ask you about the name you chose - "Cumin Centipede." Is it a tongue in cheek reference to the movie, or a coincidence????
