UNREAL. I wonder where all these fragile people who were allergic to peanuts came from? They certainly weren’t around when I was in school. In fact, I never heard of peanut allergy before, say, 1994.


My thoughts precisely.

“It’s FUN to be a public victim!”

(And those who are truly allergic should bring a few bags of pretzels, and offer them to their neighbor when asking that the neighbor not eat peanuts.)

I prefer protein-rich peanuts to carb-laden pretzels, because they actually quell hunger pangs.

I’m with you on that. We get these *great* peanuts from (errr..) China: 150 grams resealable tin for NZ$1.00. Just the right size for a decent snack of peanuts. Dry-roasted, no salt.

One or two tins for a Rugby game, more if I feel like it. Two tins for a long aeroplane flite (which in New Zealand is three hours max).

And the tins are perfect for keeping stuff in, like nails and wall anchors and small parts and usable junk in the shed, like all blokes do. And they stack...

Since switching to these peanuts from my usual snacks (was celery sticks), I have lost a ton of weight. Well, maybe not a ton, but an extra 30 lbs in two months is nothing to sneeze at! Go figure!
