At first I thought your description was a cryptic clue... However "smolt's skeletal cobalt" <> pepper shakers.#4: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Apr 17, 2018
Maybe it's Moot's blackest ell?
Or you're trying to throw us off the track with the shakers and it's really "Moot tackles bells". ;)
I saw the S & P (by me) show up in the featured puzzle list and thought I would add to it.#5: Gaynor Sorrell (gesorrell) on Apr 17, 2018
We have tiny dachshund-shaped salt and pepper shakers. When you have unusual pets, everyone gives you unusual gifts to match.
Can backwards country bombard condiments? (sorry)#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 17, 2018
We took care of a miniature dachshund seasonally for several years. My wife became quite enamored of dachshund shaped things. My favorite was the dachshund bookends where your dachshund's length was only limited by the length of your bookshelf.#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Apr 18, 2018
Gaynor, I can only solve that with an "a" between "can" and "backwards". Am I missing something?
There are too many countries. I'm trying to think of a fairly short-named country beginning with A, so you get "___A salt" I'm thinking Air Assault, but Aria isn't a country. :)#8: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 18, 2018 [SPOILER]
If the clue were "Can *a* backwards country bombard condiments?", the answer would be salt (as a synonym of can - as in to preserve) a ("a") + nd (backward country - DN=Denmark) pepper (bombard) / definition (condiments)#9: Ailsa Hebert (bazette3) on Sep 16, 2022
That's the closest I can get.
Enjoyed the solve....nice puzzle....thank you!!#10: Pam Tucker (grammypam) on Dec 26, 2023
Clever. I guessed the salt and pepper part...but didn't think about the Coca Cola bottle part. Nice job!
