Another Peanut Joke


Sorry for eating the peanuts


A man visits his aunt in the nursing home. It turns out that she is taking a nap, so he just sits down in a chair in her room, flips through a few magazines, and munches on some peanuts sitting in a bowl on the table.

Eventually, the aunt wakes up, and her nephew realizes he's absentmindedly finished the entire bowl. "I'm so sorry, auntie, I've eaten all of your peanuts!"

"That's okay, dearie," the aunt replied. "After I've sucked the chocolate off, I don't care for them anyway."

The Peanut Critic: Creamy

Ben & Jerry's
Peanut Butter Tracks


The beautiful minds at Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream now bring us Peanut Butter Tracks, a rich blend of peanut butter ice cream with mini peanut butter cups in it. Sounds like a good time to me!
I'll have to admit though, there's one downside to this ice cream... the carton's just too small! I can go through one in maybe twenty minutes! Give me 2 gallons and I'll be just peachy!

B&J's Peanut Butter Tracks Earns:

5 out of 5 Peanuts!

Circus Peanuts


Circus Peanuts:
Funny Orange Candy or Peanut Impostor?

I figured there was only one sure way to solve this dilemma. I bought a bag and began to make my comparison. Below are my findings.

These spongy gas station treats were invented by a candy maker in the early 1800's. Real peanuts were invented by God at the beginning of time.

Circus peanuts have a marshmellow texture, a strong contrast to the firm nuttiness of my beloved.

Circus peanuts, a common favorite in nursing homes, are composed of mainly sugar, corn syrup and gelatin (made from pork skin). Need I say more?
And here's the real kicker...

These stupid squishy peanuts don't even taste like peanuts! They're banana flavored! What's next? Banana-flavored Tuna fish? Ha! I caught you Circus peanuts! Pretending to be real peanuts!


In conclusion, there is no real comparison between Circus "Peanuts" and real peanuts.

All I can say is George Washington Carver would be ashamed!
