"The Adventures of Salty and Pierre" is an animated segment on Sesame Street starring the French-accented adventurers Salty (a salt shaker) and Pierre (a pepper shaker), first used in season 40. The pair go on number safaris in search of numbers. Pierre is the sometimes irritated straight man (mostly) with Salty as the wackier half of the partnership. Their world consists of other objects made from food items and kitchen utensils (resulting in broccoli trees or a mountain of potatoes).
The segments were animated by Magnetic Dreams Animation Studio and the music was by Eric Friend.
