No one ever looks in pepper grinders until they are empty, you could put a decent amount of dead beetles in one and the owner never even know.

You must not use good pepper corns then if you can't tell the difference between pepper and dead beetles.

My pepper grinder is clear (except for the actual grinding mechanism, of course)

I think I'd notice, because I look at the food I'm eating. I suppose ground beetles look different enough from ground pepper. But I also have a bit of a biology background, so YMMV. (Also taste, but I don't know as much about that. Maybe there are pepper beetles, I don't know about. But there are definitely some poisonous ones I'd rather avoid. )

Serves those rich, pepper-mill using people right! If you're not scavenging your meals from dumpsters, you're probably exploiting the working class somehow.

I don't use pepper but I use Himalayan crystal salt so your point stands, there could be decent amount of dead Buddhist monks there. (I guess I'll have to be checking from now on.)

Where can I find large quantities of dried beetles? Asking for a friend.

I've got one of those smell designer rabbits (don't worry, she's a rescue) and her turds are about the size of peppercorns
