    Empty salt ( or pepper) from a previously 'acquired' container and fill about 1/3 full with concentrated lemon juice.

    Place a thin tissue across the opening, poke it down a bit to form a depression, and fill the depression with about a teaspoon of baking soda.

    Cover (from the inside) the holes of the top with tape.

    Replace top on container and trim visible tissue from around the top.

    After discretely placing the shaker on your table (or near you), observe the next person to use the shaker. (S)He will shake lightly at first, then harder as nothing comes out. Due to the breakdown of the tissue and the pressure resulting from the classic acid/base reaction, the top will pop off (quite spectacularly) amidst a shower of foam.
