Less than 50% peanuts my ASS!
I just opened a can of mixed nuts. It says right on the front "Less than 50% peanuts". Look in the can and guess what? I find a couple pecans. A Brazil nut. Two cashews. Maybe 10 almonds. NO hazelnuts (even though they are shown prominently on the fron of the can) and the rest is ALL FUCKING PEANUTS!!!!! YOU CHEAP M*@%#* FU*&#$S!!!!

6. I think it's a plot on the Part of the Republicans to keep the
more desirable nuts out of the mouths of Democrats.

9. What's everyone's favorite nut?
Used to be cashews but they seem almost too rich for whatever reason these days.

I think it's the almond. I like how when you apply pressure just right between your teeth, it will neatly split in two. And it's not too rich.

13. Buy your own nuts seperately...
Edited on Thu Oct-12-06 08:14 AM by StraightDope
And mix them to your liking. :)
