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!
