    what the hell is up with Brazil Nuts?

    Somebody explain to me what the heck is a brazil nut anyway and why do they have to be included with mixed nuts? Clearly they are gross, and there are too many of them. They overwhelm in every way. Does anyone here actually like brazil nuts? If so, please speak up so I can tell you that you are a freaking weirdo!

    Almonds: sweet, tasty, delicate yumminess. Cashews: rich, buttery, total delight. Brazil nuts: big, weird, and bland...reminds me of that kooky co-worker you can't stand talking to but have to tolerate anyway.

    I thought of this because I just snacked on some delicious little almonds, cashews, and pecans. And those rude brazil nuts kept on rolling around...gettin in my way.

    If you luv these gross things I'll send you a bunch because I pick around them. Even the squirrels here will not touch them because they know it's a crappy nut.

    Glad I could vent on this. It's been bugging me for a long time. That's why I luv this place. I can tell all y'all just about anything!

    Use the Brazil Nut Effect to your advantage
    1. Shake can up and down so that the nuts are lightly hopping up and down
    2. Remove Brazil nuts from the top
    3. ???
    4. Profit

    FWIW I have a friend who loves them.

      Charley's aunt was from Brazil, where the nuts come from. That's all I know.

        Oh, CHARLEY'S aunt, thank god you cleared that up for us.


        Even if you liked the damn things and I certainly don't, even trying to crack the damn shell is tough.

        Other nuts have the self respect to just lounge around. Brazil nuts weld themselves to their skin.

            Weren't Brazil nuts the inspration for the ABS pack?

                I thought this thread was going to be tangentially related to the one about the new version of Huck Finn. The slang name for these nuts is now "slave nuts" or something.

                Personally, I like them, I don't think they're the greatest nut, but they certainly hold there own in a bag of nuts. They're certainly miles above a peanut, for example.

                  I was in my 20's before I knew what they were really called. My in-laws told me at a family Chirstmas gathering, it went something like this " hey judge, pass the nigger toes will ya. I've seen that look many times over the years. I think they love me at this time, but its hard to tell.

                      This place has gone to hell!!! A chick comes on here talking about nuts and not one sexual innuendo?

                      Sprite, I don't have any nuts that you could taste because they belong to my wife.

                        I buy the Planter's Select Mix: Pecans, Almonds, Cashews. Haven't had to deal with a Brazil Nut (or their evil cousin, Macadamias) for years. Planter's Select Mix changed my life.

                            Me=weirdo. I love Brazil nuts as much as I love sexual innuendo. However, I find cashews to be totally overrated and always leave them in the can.
