Yeah....I notice that, too.

Like you can't buy a frikken' peanut when you want a frikken' peanut.

Like they have to force this huge amount of peanuts on you when you really want a nice assortment.

Some things just rub me the wrong way.

In the shell.

Wow!....you must have a huge amount of energy left over at the end of the day.....

I think if I had to shell my nuts...I'd go back to chips.

I'm just not in the right physical condition any more to be shelling peanuts.

also, you really should do something about your anger.

I wonder if working so hard for peanuts is not stressing you out.

you're evidently buying the wrong kind.
They're not hard to remove from the
shell and definitely save you from
yourself by preventing overeating.<g>

preventing overeating

I am afraid I don't understand that phrase....especially when it is applied to peanuts in the shell.

The disassembly required to extract the peanuts
from the shell slows down the eating process
so that the brain catches up with the stomach
in time.

In other words, you can't gorge yourself with
handfuls of peanuts so fast.<g>

I have gone into many a baseball game, bought the humongous bag of peanuts that the vendors outside the ballpark sell for a couple of dollars, and spent the entire game (or doubleheader) eating peanuts, so many that it became difficult to stand for the seventh inning stretch.

Thank god peanuts are a vegetable or plant product or some such thing. <g>

I have a question.

Why do those charts always talk about an ounce of food?

Who eats an ounce of anything?

The listings should be in one pound and five pound increments.

For example:

Peanuts

One lb. 2,560 calories
5 lbs. 12,800 calories

M&M's

One lb. 2,272 calories
5 lbs. 11,360 calories

That would be more directly useful to everyday living, if you ask me.
